Abstract
A tooling pin assembly 10 is mounted on a test platen 12 having a planar surface 12b which supports a circuit board 16 under test. The tooling pin assembly 10 includes a locating pin 20 which engages the circuit board 16 to fix the relative position of predetermined test sites on the circuit board 16 and a lid assembly having probes 22 that contact these sites during testing when said circuit board 16 and lid assembly are in correct alignment. Mounting means for the locating pin 20 enables the locating pin to be manually relocated to compensate for minor irregularities of test sites, or in the fixture, or both.
