Abstract
A system for testing multiple devices includes a connector holder having a plurality of holes, wherein each hole included in the plurality of holes is configured to hold a respective cable connector that connects to a cable; a device holder that is configured to hold a first device in a testing position; and an engagement mechanism that supports the connector holder and is operable to move the connector holder to an engaged position, wherein when the first device is being held by the device holder in the testing position, and a first hole included in the plurality of holes holds a first cable connector, a contact point associated with the first cable connector contacts a signal pad associated with the first device.
Claims18
A system for testing multiple devices, comprising:
- a connector holder having a plurality of holes, wherein each hole included in the plurality of holes is configured to hold a respective cable connector that connects to a cable;
- a device holder that is configured to hold a first device in a testing position and comprises at least two guide pins configured to fit into respective guide holes associated with the first device;
- and
- an engagement mechanism that supports the connector holder and is operable to move the connector holder to an engaged position, wherein, when the first device is being held by the device holder in the testing position, and a first hole included in the plurality of holes holds a first cable connector, a contact point associated with the first cable connector contacts a signal pad associated with the first device.
A system for testing multiple devices, comprising:
- a first cable;
- a first cable connector connected to the first cable;
- a connector holder having a plurality of holes, wherein a first hole included in the plurality of holes holds the first cable connector;
- a device holder that is configured to hold a first device in a testing position and comprises at least two guide pins configured to fit into respective guide holes associated with the first device;
- and
- an engagement mechanism that supports the connector holder and is operable to move the connector holder to an engaged position, wherein when the first device is being held by the device holder in the testing position, a first contact point associated with the first cable connector contacts a first signal pad associated with the first device.
