Abstract: An electric circuit board tester comprises a contact board (1) configured as a circuit board and contact elements on a testing side, for example its upper side, which can be connected to test points on the circuit board to be tested. The other side of the contact board has contact points (4) electrically connected to the contact elements via conductors (3). Electronic units (8) are releasably secured to the side of the contact board (1) comprising the contact points, such that a physical connection to the contact board (1) and an electrical connection between the electronic units (8) and the contact points (4) are simultaneously achieved.

Abstract: An automated circuit board tester comprises an unstacker (1) arranged upstream of a testing device and which by means of a circuit board picker (40) arranged above a chute (30) picks a top-most circuit board from a stack of circuit boards (55) located in the chute (30). The chute (30) comprises a lifting device including at least two sets of vertically travelling supporting elements (38, 101), each of which is able to carry a stack of circuit boards (55). The chute (30) is open at least on one side so that a set of supporting elements (38, 101) can be loaded while a stack of circuit boards (55) located on the other set of supporting elements (38, 101) is unstacked by the circuit board picker (40).
