Abstract
A burn-in PCB comprising an adapter socket for receiving at least one program card; a plurality of test sockets for receiving test components; wherein one or more of the test sockets are electrically connected to the adapter socket by way of the printed circuit of the burn-in PCB; and wherein electrical connections for burn-in testing to respective test components received in said one or more test sockets on the burn-in PCB are at least in part formed by the printed circuit on said at least one program card received in the adapter socket.
Claims11
An assembly of printed circuit boards (PCBs) for burn-in testing comprising:
- one or more program PCBs;
- at least one burn-in PCB comprising:
- a plurality of test sockets for receiving test components;
- an adapter socket for receiving at least one of the program PCBs such that the program PCBs are connected between the test sockets and a bias signal source external to the program PCB:
- wherein one or more of the test sockets are electrically connected to the adapter socket by way of the printed circuit of the burn-in PCB;
- and
- wherein electrical connections between the bias signal source and said one or more test sockets on the burn-in PCB include the printed circuit on said at least one program PCB received in the adapter socket.
A burn-in PCB comprising:
- a plurality of test sockets for receiving test components;
- an adapter socket for receiving at least one program PCB such that the program PCBs are connected between the test sockets and a bias signal source external to the program PCB:
- wherein one or more of the test sockets are electrically connected to the adapter socket by way of the printed circuit of the burn-in PCB;
- and
- wherein electrical connections between the bias signal source and said one or more test sockets on the burn-in PCB include the printed circuit on said at least one program PCBs received in the adapter socket.
A method of performing burn-in testing, the method comprising:
- providing one or more program PCBs;
- providing at least one burn-in PCB comprising
- a plurality of test sockets for receiving test components;
- an adapter socket for receiving at least one of the program PCBs such that the program PCBs are connected between the test sockets and a bias signal source external to the program PCB;
- wherein one or more of the test sockets are electrically connected to the adapter socket by way of the printed circuit of the burn-in PCB;
- and
- wherein electrical connections between the bias signal source and said one or more test sockets on the burn-in PCB include the printed circuit on said at least one program PCB received in the adapter socket.
