  • Publication number: 20040032271
    Abstract: A contactor for providing electrical connections between a device under test and a tester input board. The device under test has first electrical contacts with a first pitch and a first diameter that contact a first side of the contactor, and the tester input board has second electrical contacts with a second pitch and a second diameter that contact a second side of the contactor. The contactor has a sheet of an electrically insulating material with a first surface at the first side of the contactor and a second surface at the second side of the contactor. The first surface and the second surface of the electrically insulating material are substantially parallel one to another. Electrical connectors extend along a length from the first side of the contactor to the second side of the contactor. The electrical connectors are substantially parallel one to another along their lengths.
