Abstract
A laser block assembly (LBA) gas fill process device with improved cathode electrode connectors. An example device includes a gas fill component that attaches to an LBA under test and electrical connectors that receive a voltage bias from a voltage source and apply the voltage bias to cathodes of the LBA. The electrical connectors include an end having a torsion spring that is sized based on the cathodes of the LBA. Also, the electrical connectors may include a strain relief spring.
Claims13
An electrical lead device comprising:
- a straight portion being connected to an electrical source at one end;
