Abstract
An interconnector for providing coupling between an integrated circuit pin connector, a socket connector which may be part of a printed circuit board, and a cable. Some pins of the pin connector connect directly with sockets of the socket connector, other pins and sockets are coupled to the cable. When used in an in-circuit emulator for a microcomputer, the interconnector permits the CPU or microprocessor to be physically located on the microcomputer's circuit board during testing of the microcomputer. Some of the signals which normally flow between the CPU or microprocessor and the remainder of the microcomputer are diverted to the cable. This permits sensing of signals intended for the CPU or microprocessor and the substitution of other signals in place of the sensed signals.
