Abstract
A surface mount adaptor allows for removable attachment of debugging connectors to a circuit board and provides high density access to the circuit board under test at a single location. A circuit board testing assembly has a support member having debugging connectors coupled to a first surface of the support member, the debugging connectors being configured to attach to a circuit board testing device. The circuit board testing assembly also has a support member connector coupled to a second surface of the support member and in electrical communication with the debugging connectors. The support member is configured to removably attach to a circuit board connector surface mounted to a first surface of a circuit board. Removable attachment of the debugging connectors from the circuit board provides an availability of space on the top side of the circuit board for additional circuit board components and traces.
