Abstract: A ruggedized programable switch accepts multiple forms of current from a plurality of sources and thereafter conditions and balances the current to provide a reliable common grounding plane of current for an end user. The common plane reduces electrical noise and interference through grounding loops preventing crosstalk between adjacent circuits while prioritizing current sources feeding the common plane. Components necessary to provide such a common plane of current are housed within a sealed, ruggedized protective housing. The housing passively conveys heat generated by the interiorly protected components to a plurality of heat dissipating fins and channels on the housing's exterior maintaining the device's operational capability.

Abstract: An ergonomic tester for an electronic device under test (EDUT). A tester circuit card is disposed within an enclosed chassis for creating a plurality of predetermined test conditions for the EDUT. A monolithic fixture frame formed from a single piece of material provides unitary lateral supports with pivot points for an ergonomic loading handle assembly, a unitary fan support and a unitary base for supporting a monolithic translatable carriage for engaging and positioning the EDUT during loading and testing. A spring-probe block connector assembly is retained by the unitary lateral supports of the monolithic fixture frame to engage a mating connector in the EDUT when loaded. The spring-probe block connector assembly has one or more mechanical locating elements each for engaging a corresponding mechanical locating element in the EDUT.
