Patent attributes
An apparatus includes a test head frame and a tray slidably coupled to the frame and configured to receive a printed circuit board (PCB) to be tested. The PCB is positioned within the frame when the tray is in a retracted position and outside the frame when the tray is in an ejected position. A bed of nails (BON) opposes a lower side of the PCB and includes a plurality of pins having first portions arranged on an upper side of the BON to connect with corresponding electrical pads on the lower side of the PCB when the tray containing the PCB is in the retracted position. A plurality of interface printed circuit boards is configured for connection to second portions of the plurality of pins exposed on a lower side of the BON and for receiving test signals when the tray containing the PCB is in the retracted position.
