Abstract
An automated test equipment (ATE) includes a test interface board assembly. The test interface board includes a socket configured to provide electrical couplings from the test interface board to a device under test (DUT). The socket is further configured to accept an active thermal interposer (ATI) device while the DUT is disposed in the socket. The socket includes a plurality of spring-loaded roller retention devices configured to retain one or more devices in the socket. The ATE further includes a Z-axis interface plate configured to open the plurality of spring-loaded roller retention devices to enable insertion of the DUT into the socket and an ATI placement plate configured to open the plurality of spring-loaded roller retention devices to enable insertion of the ATI device into the socket.
