| 1. A method for electrically interfacing a test system with a peripheral system, comprising the steps of:
a) causing pivotal motion at a pivot point between a first unit which provides electrical communication with said peripheral
system and a second unit which provides electrical communication with said test system as at least one of the second unit
and the first unit moves towards the other; and
b) causing linear motion at said pivot point which decreases linear distance between said first unit and said second unit
while maintaining respective contact surfaces in parallel after step a).
