Patent number: 7005869Abstract: A multi point contactor (MPC) on a component testing system for electrically contacting a terminal on a device under test (DUT) includes at least three independently moveable contacts to help insure at least two of them contact the DUT terminal. At least one of the contacts includes an integral spring, preferably in the form of a blade laser machined from a sheet of electrically conductive material to include a first portion for bearing against the contact-holding structure, a second portion for bearing against the terminal on the DUT, and a third portion interconnecting the first and second portions that functions as an integral spring bias for spring biasing the second portion from the first portion toward the terminal on the DUT. Preferably, the third portion of the blade has a serpentine shape that consistently results in desired constant-force spring characteristics over a nominal range of blade travel.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2004Date of Patent: February 28, 2006Assignee: Ceramic Component Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christian R.

Publication number: 20040075036Abstract: A test plate for holding miniature electronic circuit components on a component testing system as a part of batch processing for parametric testing purposes, including passive, two-terminal, ceramic capacitors, resistors, multilayer inductors, inductor beads, varistors, thermistors, fuses, sensors, actuators, and the like, or another type of device under test (DUT), includes a DUT-holding plate having an upper side, a lower side, and a rotational axis. The DUT-holding plate defines a plurality of DUT-engaging holes extending through the DUT-holding plate from the upper side to the lower along central axes of the DUT-engaging holes that are not parallel to the rotational axis. With the DUT-holding plate oriented so that the rotational axis is not vertical, the DUT-engaging holes change orientation relative to vertical as they orbit the rotational axis. According to a separate aspect, the DUT-holding plate includes upper and lower layers that are bonded together to form the DUT-holding plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2002Publication date: April 22, 2004Applicant: Ceramic Component Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Christian R.
