Test System
Interface or Mass
Interconnect
The Test System Interface or Mass Interconnect connects the test system to
your test fixture. The test fixture then connects to the Unit Under Test
(UUT). Standard connector blocks allow you to use general purpose
connectors designed for low-power and high-power connections as needed.
The system can be configured with either one of two mass interconnects:
• Test System Interface (Express Connect), for low-cost, medium-duty
applications,
• Mass Interconnect (Mac Panel) for very high pin-count and/or high
duty-cycle applications.
Test System Interface
(Express Connect)
The Test System Interface (Express Connect) provides two 156-pin
detachable Test Connectors (TC1, TC2) for connecting to the test fixture.
These connectors have connections for two Agilent E8793 32-Pin Matrix
Modules, two load cards (includes connections to the current sensing
circuitry on the load cards), and power supplies. The Test System Interface
also has two high-power connectors for a single 8-Channel Heavy Duty
Load Card.
The Test System Interface can be expanded from two to eight test connectors
and high power connectors.
Figure 1-7 shows a Test System Interface with the maximum available
connectors. Refer to the Agilent TS-5400 Series IIB Express Connect Test
System Interface Wiring Guide supplied with your system for detailed
information.
