Abstract
An interface circuit board ( ) for high test point density electronic testing equipment has a first thickness signal portion ( ) in which all the signal traces ( ) are routed and a second, thicker integrally formed transfer portion ( ) which transfers the signal traces to a respective test pad ( ) on the lower surface of the transfer portion. The transfer portion is made thicker to strengthen the board and is made integral with the first signal portion to eliminate the need for intermediate solder joints.
