A test equipment manifold interface for automated test equipment (ATE) for testing electronic circuits by both Device Under Test Thermal Management (DTM) and non-DTM testing. The manifold interface has a housing, with an air inlet aperture, outlet apertures, and a chamber. The chamber has a chamber inlet provided by the air inlet aperture and a chamber outlet coupled to the outlet apertures. A hollow piston is captive in the chamber. The piston has DTM interface inlet and outlet apertures. In operation, when a DTM load board manifold engages the manifold interface, the hollow piston directs air to flow from the air inlet aperture to the DTM interface outlet aperture. When the DTM load board manifold disengages the manifold interface, the hollow piston directs air to flow from the air inlet to the outlet apertures via the chamber outlet.
