Docking device, more particularly for a probe and a tester

Abstract

A device for docking two means (100, 200), more particularly a probe (100) and a tester (200), including a first mounting board (110) arranged at the first means (100) and a second mounting board (210) arranged at the second means (200) which in the docked condition of the means (100, 200) are adjoined in a docking plane, the first mounting board (110) being provided with a recess (111) oriented inclined to the docking plane for engaging at least one peg (220) shiftingly mounted on the second mounting board (210), the second mounting board (210) comprising an actuator (300) by means of which the peg (220) guided in the recess (111) is shiftable between an open position and a docked position mutually clamping the first mounting board (110) and the second mounting board (210), wherein the actuator (300) has a slide (310, 311) mounting the peg (220) which is movable by means of a spindle (330, 331) between the open position and the docked position of the peg (220) in order to achieve a compact design and relatively high docking forces.
