A test adapter is provided that configures the electrical communication between a unit under test (UUT) and an electronic test station, particularly existing, commonly used test stations. The test adapter consists of a printed wiring board having at least one electrically conductive path and at least one connection terminal in electrical communication with the conductive path, whereby the connection terminal connects the UUT to the adapter. Additionally, the test adapter includes a plurality of electrically conductive pins that are in electrical communication with the electrically conductive path and extend outward from a first surface of the printed wiring board, wherein the pins are adapted to electrically connect the test adapter to the test station. To space the printed wiring board from the electronic test station so as to eliminate mechanical interference between them, the test adapter also includes an insulative separator plate situated adjacent to the first surface of the printed wiring board, wherein at least a portion of the separator plate includes a plurality of apertures through which the pins extend.
