## Linkage style test head docking

The Linkage Style test head docking replaces the traditional "Cable" style of connection with a robust direct linkage. The linkage design makes the docking assembly virtually maintenance-free for low cost of ownership.

All linkage docks are 100% backward compatible with existing InTest EMS docking so that no changes are required to your existing handler or prober docking setups. And are compatible with InTest EMS designed manipulator and test interface hardware for seamless MDI** ([Manipulator](https://www.intest-ems.com/products/manipulators?hsLang=en), [Docking](https://www.intest-ems.com/products/docking?hsLang=en), [Interface](https://www.intest-ems.com/products/interfaces?hsLang=en))** integration.
