Abstract
The present invention is a testing apparatus which includes a contact connector comprised of a housing with contact blades extending from the housing. The contact blades are pivotally mounted to the housing by pivot rods. A biasing element is coupled to the contact blades, providing resistance against rotary movement of the contact blade in one direction. In one embodiment, the housing has a comb structure including a plurality of slots and slot division walls between the slots. A spacer is disposed in each of the slots, and the contact blades are aligned with the slot division walls.
