Mechanical fixture

A mechanical fixture is a structural interface that mechanically accommodates, positions, and guides components, assemblies, or test objects within a test system. In test fixtures, it ensures that the test object is precisely aligned with the contact unit, creating stable contact conditions.

Through its mechanical guidance, the adapter supports safe handling, reproducible test sequences, and a reliable connection between the DUT, Contact Probes, and test system. Depending on the application, a mechanical fixture can also enable the quick change of cassettes, Carrier plates, or other adapter components.
