APPARATUS FOR TESTING CIRCUIT PACKAGES

摘要

Apparatus for testing circuit packages including a test sequence generator which is connected to a contactor for making contact to the leads of a circuit package. The contactor includes an inclined track for slidably receiving integrated circuit packages, and circuit package storage tubes connected to the ends of the inclined track. The contactor has a test region at which a circuit package is held by a rocker member. Contact means having a plurality of fingers is operated to make contact with the leads of an integrated circuit package in the test region. A test sequence may then be conducted. After the test sequence the rocker member is operated to release the integrated circuit package which has just been tested from the test region. Another circuit package then moves into the test region and the testing sequence is initiated again.
