Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include a modular load board or “frame” that contains a number of moveable connectors. The moveable connectors can be selectively displaced within the frame, as needed, to mate with test head pogo-pins and can be fixed in place on the frame using screws. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide multiple moveable sockets that can be positioned as needed within the frame so that a quick prototype modular load board can be designed and readily modified, if need be, without requiring hard wired traces within the PCB to connect the DUT socket to the test head interface regions. Using ribbon cables, embodiments of the present disclosure eliminate the need to have any hard wired traces within a PCB load board between the DUT socket and pogo pin interface blocks.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present utilize a specialized modular load board in combination with previously-tested daughter boards to yield a final design for generating a new printed circuit board (PCB) for testing. Since the electrical characteristics of the daughter board are already known by the client and well established during previous testing procedures, similar test programs can be used for production-level testing that were used in client prototyping processes that involved the use of the previously-tested daughter board. Thus, embodiments of the present disclosure can use the features of the specialized modular load board and a client's tested daughter board to develop more reliable, production-ready circuits.
