Abstract: PURPOSE: To quick and secure connect and disconnect a launcher and a strip to and from each other by providing a couple of launchers, provided for individual moving bodies which can be adjusted in position in a common plane, and a connector and its positioning mechanism which cooperate with the launchers. CONSTITUTION: A connector positioning mechanism is composed of X- and Y-axial connector driving shafts 104 and 94, X-and Y-axial moving bodies 44 and 32, etc., so as to operate synchronously during connection. Then a grounding surface conductor 13 fitted to the launchers 110 and 112 pushes up a microstrip 114 on a horizontal contact surface 139 through the operation of the positioning mechanism to bring the upper conductor 122 of the strip 114 into contact with inside conductors 124 and 126 of the launchers 110 and 112 and also moves respective connectors finely and horizontally to connect the vertical contact surface of the conductor 130 to the vertical connect surfaces 220 of the outside conductors of the launchers 110 and 112. Once the connection is completed, a probe conductor 118 is lowered on the top surface of the strip 114 and coaxial cables 106 and 108 are electrically connected to conduct a test.
