i haven't gotten anything yet.. but i did make some phone calls..

the testing system that we are evaluating is the valugrid system..

i spoke to a place the does nothing but electrical testing... and they told
me that they use the same post and donut system that we use unless they
have a fixture with pins smaller than 19mil.

our current smallest size pin is 20mil..

the problem they said with the valugrid system is that you have to spend
more time making up the fixtures as they require the "qwikstaks" or main
supports have to be routed out on each layer of lexan..

my main question on these fixtures is regarding internal supports
structures and how people are using them in this setup..

thanks!
