Abstract
An apparatus for securing an HGA to a tester includes a housing with a cylindrical cavity disposed about an axis, and having, at its top end, a mounting surface with a central aperture, for receiving an HGA base plate with a boss hole of the HGA overlying the central aperture. Axially elongated clamp fingers, radially dispersed about a spreader pin, move along the axis between (i) a loading position with upper ends extending through and relatively far beyond the central aperture, and (ii) a clamping position with the upper ends disposed at or near the mounting surface. With an HGA on the mounting surface, and the clamp fingers at their loading position, the clamp fingers are driven downward, while simultaneously, the clamp fingers are driven outward by the spreader pin, and the clamp fingers engage boss hole edges, securing the HGA to the tester.
