The printed circuit board testing apparatus includes resiliently loaded
probe pins carried in a support so that the pins can individually move
relative to the support. A sealing means is positioned between the support
and the printed circuit board, and is effective in operation to form a
closed boundary enclosing a space occupied by the probes and the circuit
connections and to enable a pneumatic clamp seal to be produced between
the sealing means and the circuit board, to hold the probe pins in contact
with the circuitry of the board.
