Abstract

A low-profile device for making electrical connection to the terminals of an electronic component for testing the circuitry thereof, comprises: a flat cable 8; a body 20 having spaced electrical contacts 26 mounted therein, means 25 for gripping the electronic component and for insulating and protecting terminal contact sections 26a of said electrical contact 26; means 30 for retaining and spring biasing said gripping means 25 to said body; a cap 24 to cover and electrically insulate exposed portions of conductor-connecting sections of said contact 26 and to retain said contacts in electrical connection with the electrical conductors in said flat cable; and means for electrically connecting between the electrical conductors in said flat cable and a test instrument. <IMAGE>
