Connector housing block, interface member and electronic device testing apparatus

Abstract

In a connector housing block 260 comprising an interface member 200 for electrically connecting a test head body 100 with sockets 320 in an electronic device testing apparatus, a connector housing 240 provided with a plurality of connector pins 242 in a non-floating state is attached to a block base 230 in a floating state via a coil spring 250. Due to the configuration, the number of parts of the connector housing 240 can be reduced, mounting density of the connector pins 242 can be improved, and a positional error of the connector housing 240 can be absorbed.
