Abstract
A high density logic analyzer probing system has a probe mounting fixture for accurately positioning mounting posts to a device under test (DUT). The mounting posts includes a recess in one side for receiving a spring wire clip that mounts through holes in the DUT. The housing includes protrusions that receive screws for securing the probe head to the mounting posts on the DUT. The screws have a first shoulder that engages the protrusions and a second shoulder that engages the mounting post. The probe head is positioned between the mounting posts and tightened to the DUT using the screws. The first shoulder applies downward pressure on the probe head and the second shoulder provides a positive stop to prevent over tightening of the probe head which can cause damage to probe contacts in the probe head.
