  • Patent number: 7893705
    Abstract: A module for a tester for the testing of circuit boards is described. Such testers have a basic grid on which an adapter and/or a translator may be arranged in order to connect contact points of the basic grid with circuit board test points of a circuit board to be tested. The module comprises a support plate and a contact board. The contact board is formed by a rigid circuit board section which is described as the basic grid element, and at least one flexible circuit board section. Provided on the basic grid element are contact points which each form part of the contact points of the basic grid. The basic grid element is mounted at an end face of the support plate, and the flexible circuit board section is bent in such a way that at least part of the other section of the contact board is parallel to the support plate.

  • Patent number: 6150825
    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.
