DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ALIGNING AND HOLDING A PLURALITY OF SINGULATED SEMICONDUCTOR COMPONENTS IN RECEIVING POCKETS OF A TERMINAL CARRIER

摘要

In a device and a method for aligning and holding a plurality of singulated semi-conductor components in receiving pockets of a terminal carrier that are separated from each other, the terminal carrier has spring elements, which are part of a spring plate. The spring plate has a plurality of recesses disposed next to each other for forming a corresponding plurality of receiving pockets for the semi-conductor components, wherein the spring elements are formed from the spring plate in one piece.

主权项

1. A device to align and hold a plurality of singulated semiconductor components with a plate-like clamping carrier, the clamping carrier comprising:
a plurality of receiving pockets arranged side-by-side, into which the semiconductor components are insertable; stop elements for accurate positioning of the semiconductor components within the receiving pockets; and spring elements for pressing the semiconductor components against the stop elements by means of spring force, wherein the spring elements are part of a spring plate, comprising: a plurality of recesses arranged side-by-side and providing a corresponding plurality of receiving pockets for the semiconductor components, wherein the spring elements are formed from the spring plate in one piece, andwherein the clamping carrier further comprises a multi-layer plate combination that comprises the spring plate and a base plate, or a cover plate, or both adjacent to the spring plate, wherein the spring plate extends at least over a major part of the base plate or the cover plate.
