SYSTEMS, APPARATUSES, OR COMPONENTS FOR ELECTROLYTIC CORROSION PROTECTION OF ELECTRONIC ELEMENT TESTING APPARATUSES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17737047 titled 'SYSTEMS, APPARATUSES, OR COMPONENTS FOR ELECTROLYTIC CORROSION PROTECTION OF ELECTRONIC ELEMENT TESTING APPARATUSES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus that includes a tester chassis, a thermal head assembly, and an electrical insulation arrangement.

  • The tester chassis is connected to a chassis electric reference potential for electrostatic discharge grounding.
  • The thermal head assembly is coupled to the tester chassis and has a metallic thermal contact surface.
  • The electrical insulation arrangement is placed between the metallic thermal contact surface and the chassis electric reference potential to prevent electrical contact between them.
  • The purpose of this arrangement is to protect the metallic thermal contact surface from electrolytic corrosion.
  • The patent application also mentions an electrolytic corrosion protection system for the apparatus and a cable assembly for the apparatus.


Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus comprises a tester chassis connected to a chassis electric reference potential for electrostatic discharge grounding of the tester chassis; a thermal head assembly coupled to the tester chassis, the thermal head assembly having a metallic thermal contact surface; and an electrical insulation arrangement disposed between the metallic thermal contact surface and the chassis electric reference potential to electrically insulate the metallic thermal contact from the chassis electric reference potential. An electrolytic corrosion protection system for the apparatus and a cable assembly for the apparatus.
