Abstract

The traditional device interface board is replaced by a number of smaller strips containing one or more electrical components for interfacing the device under test and the test head. The device interface modules may mount to a stiffening member having a back bone and multiple ribs running through the stiffening member. The device interface strips can create a lattice-like structure for the interface circuitry. Individual circuits may be disposed on the interface strips to perform functionality relating to the device under test and/or the test head.
