  • Electronic card assembly fixture
    Patent number: 6333637
    Abstract: A test fixture is described which includes a camming assembly for eliminating misalignments in the probe testing of electronic card assemblies. The test fixture provides a pair of cams oppositely situated from the probes of a Side Access Unit (SAU). These cams are pneumatically actuated slightly prior to, or instantaneously with, the SAU. The actuation of the cams provides a mechanical stop with zero tolerance, so that the misalignment of test pads and probes, caused by the forward movement of the test probes, is eliminated.
