Abstract: A universal assembly for mass interconnect connection are shown and described. In one embodiment, an assembly includes an upper tier, a first APEX lower tier, and a second APEX lower tier. Typically, the upper tier is independent of the first and second APEX lower tiers. The upper tier may have a pair of spatially separated rails defining a vertical interconnect pull-through platform. The APEX lower tiers may have spatially separated lower rails to secure a APEX socket to mate with a corresponding APEX plug in a connected position. The result is an interconnect system and assemblies for enhancing organizational and interchangeable electrical engagement.

Abstract: A universal assembly for mass interconnect connection are shown and described. In one embodiment, an assembly includes an upper tier adapted to secure a vertical interconnect module on horizontal rails; and a lower tier having a horizontal carrier insert adapted to secure a horizontal interconnect module pulled-through said horizontal carrier insert, and a vertical module block insert adapted to secure a vertical interconnect module block. The result is an interconnect system and receiver for enhancing organizational and interchangeable electrical engagement.

Abstract: A hybrid mass interconnect system and universal pull-through receiver are shown and described. In one embodiment, a universal receiver for a mass interconnect system includes a frame, a connection assembly and a universal interconnect module. Typically, the receiver supports a variety of testing platforms, including PXI-based platforms, LXI-based platforms, AXIe-based platforms, and a combination thereof. In other examples, a variety of other platform relationships may be used. In particular examples, the universal interconnect module has an upper tier with a pair of spatially separated horizontal rails and a lower tier that is adjacent to the upper tier with at least one pair of spatially separated vertical rails. The result is an interconnect system and receiver for enhancing the organizational and interchangeable electrical engagement between a test adapter and automated testing equipment.

Abstract: A flexible organizational connect is shown and described. In one embodiment, the device comprises a flexible receiver assembly for receiving an interchangeable test adapter for a mass interconnect device. Typically, the flexible receiver assembly includes an integral structural unit and an interchangeable connection assembly. In other embodiments, a mass interconnect device includes an interchangeable test adapter and a flexible receiver assembly.
