Abstract
In one embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus is provided for use in testing a unit under test (UUT). The apparatus includes first and second assemblies. The first assembly has a plurality of members that extend from a surface of the first assembly and an electrically conductive test probe that extends from the surface. The second assembly includes openings dimensioned to receive respective ones of the members, and mechanisms that engage and apply a force to the members when the members are in the openings. When the UUT is under test, the members extend through openings in a PCB that are disposed around a ball grid array (BGA) device, and the force causes the assemblies to be urged toward each other so as to bring the probe into contact with a PCB via that is electrically connected to the BGA.
