3.2 Test connections
The SIM type approval test equipment can be connected to the application in two
different ways:
1.
Paddle
2.
Flying leads
The test facility will most likely perform all tests using the paddle. This is the most
realistic and easiest way to test the device. This test method does have its draw-
backs; the connections are worsened over time and if the paddle is not replaced every
so often the test cases might start to cause false failures. If this occurs it is best to
request that they use the flying lead method instead. This method entails the test
equipment to solder down onto the SIM-holder leads (soldered onto the solder pads
of the SIM-holder, not the pins on the holder that connects to the SIM-card). This
method eliminates bad connection problems of the paddle method.
