A floating and self-aligning suspension system to automatically align and attach a connector to an assembly is disclosed. The floating and self-aligning suspension system includes a frame and a biasing mechanism attached to the frame. A connector is mounted to the frame and the biasing mechanism permits the frame and connector to move relative to another structure to allow the connector to self-align and attach to an assembly.

A test socket and system for testing packaged electronic circuits. The test system includes a control unit coupled by a communication channel to a socket which provides a location for mounting and testing a packaged electronic circuit. The socket includes one or more designated pairs of electrical connectors that provide power to the packaged electronic circuit. Each of the one or more designated pairs of electrical connectors includes a first electrical connector and a second electrical connector. In one embodiment, the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector in one or more pairs of designated connectors are connected together by a capacitor. In another embodiment, one or more capacitors that connect together the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector in one or more designated pairs of electrical connectors are packaged and embedded in the body of the socket.
