Abstract

An electronics testing assembly includes a housing, a tester assembly, and an activation assembly. The housing is sized to retain the activation assembly and at least one electronics testing device. The tester enclosure is configured to house a plurality of tester connector interfaces that are mounted to a first connector plate. The activation assembly includes an actuator assembly and a plurality of activation connector interfaces mounted to a second connector plate. The actuator assembly is configured to move the second connector plate between a lowered vertical position and a raised vertical position within the housing while maintaining a fixed orientation of the tester enclosure relative to the housing. In the lowered vertical position the activation connector interfaces are spaced apart from the tester connector interfaces, and in the raised vertical position the activation connector interfaces are engaged with the tester connector interfaces to create an electrical connection.
