Abstract: An integrated circuit testing assembly, comprising a slab having a slab axis, and a first electrode and second electrode affixed relative to the slab. The first electrode has a first major axis parallel to the slab axis, is coupled to receive a first voltage for coupling to a first set of pins on an integrated circuit, and includes a first surface area facing the slab axis, wherein the first surface area does not include a surface discontinuity. The second electrode has a second major axis parallel to the slab axis, is coupled to receive a second voltage for coupling to second first set of pins on an integrated circuit, and includes a second surface area facing the slab axis, wherein the second surface area does not include a surface discontinuity.

Abstract: An integrated circuit testing assembly that includes: (i) a first slug configured to contact a first surface of a first set of pins of an integrated circuit; (ii) a second slug configured to contact a second surface of the first set of pins of the integrated circuit; (iii) a third slug configured to contact a first surface of a second set of pins of the integrated circuit; and (iv) a fourth slug configured to contact a second surface of the second set of pins of the integrated circuit.

Abstract: A force biased spring probe pin assembly includes a barrel member having a barrel wall defining an elongate internal cavity with a lower end and an upper end. The assembly also includes a split plunger member comprised of an upper split plunger part separated from a lower split plunger part separated by a diagonal cut reciprocally mounted in the internal cavity proximate the lower end of the internal cavity. A spring member is positioned in the internal cavity between the upper split plunger part and the second end of the internal cavity. A force biased spring probe pin assembly includes a barrel member having a barrel wall defining an elongate internal cavity with a lower end and an upper end. The assembly also includes a first split plunger member reciprocally mounted in the internal cavity proximate the lower end of the internal cavity and a second split plunger member reciprocally mounted in the internal cavity proximate the upper end of the internal cavity.
