Abstract
Abstract An extender test connector for an electronic plug-in module assembly having a first connector adaptable for electrical connection with a module mounting frame assembly and a second connector for electrical connection with a plug-in module. The first and second connectors are mechanically attached to separate ends of a terminal board having a plurality of terminals. Corresponding pins on the first and second connectors are electrically connected through one of said terminals which serves as a test point.
