  • Connector alignment assembly for an electronic memory module tester
    Patent number: 5973285
    Abstract: A connector alignment assembly is provided for aligning memory modules in a test position relative to a memory module tester. An automatic feeder receives, stages and then dispenses the electronic memory modules onto a conveyor, one at a time. The conveyor moves the electronic memory modules from the feeder to a test station. A contact plunger is used to push tester contacts against surface contacts of the electronic memory module to electrically connect the electronic memory module to test circuitry. The connector alignment assembly includes two alignment pins which are mounted to the contact plunger, such that when the contact plunger is moved to press the test contacts against the surface contacts, the alignment pins are moved into two alignment holes of the electronic memory module.
