Abstract
An apparatus comprising a test termination card having a first set of connections and a second set of connections. The first set of connections may be configured to connect to a specific pinout of a device under test. The second set of connections may be configured to connect to a general pinout of a tester load board. The termination card may toggle between (a) connecting the first set of connectors to the second set of connectors to implement a first test type and (b) disconnecting the first set of connectors from the second set of connectors to implement a second test type.
