A method and apparatus for interrogating an electronic component ( 20 ), includes a body ( 18 or 102 ) having an interface ( 10, 24, 108 or 154 ) for an interrogating device ( 48/50 or 106 ) to use as a conduit in reliably performing multiple discrete interrogations of the electronic component ( 20 ) without the interrogating device physically touching the electronic component ( 20 ). |
