  • Static dissipative layer system and method
    Patent number: 7522401
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method is provided including a plurality of test pins, a static dissipative layer having a plurality of openings, and a plurality of support features coupled to the static dissipative layer to movably support the static dissipative layer at a first and a second relative position. The support features enable the static dissipative layer to make initial contact with terminals of a component to be tested to discharge static, if any, built up at the terminals of the component while the static dissipative layer is supported at the first relative position. The support features also enable the static dissipative layer to expose the test pins through the openings to make contact with the terminals of the component after the static dissipative layer had made initial contact with the terminals of the component at the first relative position.
