Abstract
An example test system includes: a pin electronics board for exchanging signals with a device under test (DUT), where the pin electronics board includes first electrical contacts; an interposer between the pin electronics board and a paddle board, where the paddle board includes second electrical contacts, and where the interposer includes electrical connectors for use in establishing electrical pathways between the first electrical contacts and the second electrical contacts; and an actuator configured to force the paddle board and the interposer to make contact so as to cause the electrical connectors to contact the second electrical contacts and thereby establish the electrical pathways.
