PURPOSE:To obtain a feeder simultaneously carrying a large number of parts and capable of smoothly feeding the parts without damage one by one and a test apparatus capable of automating positioning and connection to a tester. CONSTITUTION:A feeder is composed of a case 2 with a pair of side plates 3, a plurality of parting plates 6 having intervals 5, by which parts 1 are housed, between the side plates 3 and a bottom plate 7 sliding under the side plates. When the bottom plate is fixed onto a floor face 20 and the case 2 is moved, the parts 1 are dropped one by one and charged into an opening section 32. An opening-closing-able backing plate 34 receives the parts 1. A pair of width narrowing plates 36a, 36b are faced oppositely on both sides of the clearance of a pair of screens 35a, 35b, and the parts 1 are positioned in the cross direction by driving one width narrowing plate 36a. A second cylinder 38 lightly pushes the parts 1 against one 35a of the screens. A plurality of contact pins 39 are brought into contact with the pins 1a of the parts 1 by a third cylinder 40. When the backing plate 34 is opened after a test, the parts 1 are dropped to a lower section, and discharged onto a chute door 44. |
