High-Density Test Interface Platform

Mass Interconnect Test Interface System

The Mass Interconnect Test Interface System provides a modular, high-density and maintainable test interconnect platform between the UUT and test resources for ICT, FCT, ATE, PXI and complex automated test systems. This page focuses on engineering selection: available Receiver/ITA series, slot selection, modules and contacts, supported signal types, accessories, and how to cross-reference existing VPC BOMs to TL part numbers.

F Series Mechanical Design

The F series uses a ratcheting connection design. Source material states that it can reduce operating handle force by about 30%, making Receiver-to-ITA connection easier. This statement follows the source wording and is not expanded into other mechanical performance claims.

Module System

Signal Module

For analog, digital, control and common test signals.

Power Module

For higher-current and power connections.

Coax Module

For RF/coaxial signals.

Hybrid Module

Mixes different connection resources in one module.

How to Configure Your Mass Interconnect System

STEP 1

Confirm test channel count

STEP 2

Select Receiver / ITA slot count

STEP 3

Determine signal type: Signal / Power / RF / Pneumatic

STEP 4

Select matching Module + Contact

STEP 5

Configure cable, strain relief, protective cover, extraction / crimp tools

Example System Configurations

Example A: FCT Test System

Example configuration: 6-slot Receiver, 2 x 96 Pin Signal, 1 x Mini Power, 1 x Mini Coax, 1 x Pneumatic. Purpose: Control / Measurement / Power / RF / Pneumatic Fixture Control. Configuration is illustrative only.

Example B: PXI Automated Test System

Test Instruments -> Receiver -> Mixed Modules -> ITA -> Fixture -> UUT. Configuration is illustrative only and does not include unverified performance figures.
