DEVICE CARRIER AND HORIZONTAL TRANSFER, TYPE AUTOHANDLER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To stably measure an electric characteristic of a device such as an IC or the like by surely connecting a terminal of the device to the contact element of a socket. SOLUTION: A recess 11a where an IC 1 is to be arranged is formed to a device carrier 11 disposed above an IC socket 2. Positioning hole parts 13 are formed to a positioning plate part 12 constituting a bottom part of the recess 11a, to which solder balls 1a of the IC 1 arranged in the recess 11a are fitted. When the device carrier 11 holding the IC 1 is placed above the IC socket 2, contact elements 2a of the IC socket 2 are inserted and positioned to the positioning hole parts 13, so that the contact elements 2a and the solder balls 1a of the IC 1 can be surely brought in contact with each other.
