Summary:A module (44) for a test system interfaces between (a) a tester mechanism (16 and 42) having tester contacts (152) for carrying test signals and (b) a device-side board (46) having device-side contacts (162) for connection to external leads of an electronic device (40) under test. The interface module contains a tester side body (50) having tester side openings (86) for being positioned opposite the tester-side contacts, a device-side body (52) having device-side openings (136) for being positioned opposite the device-side openings, and interface conductors (54) extending through the tester-side and device-side openings for connecting the tester contacts to the device-side contacts. The tester body is configured, typically as at least five wedge-shaped portions (68), in such a manner as to enable the electronic device under test to have an increased number of external leads.
