  • Patent number: 9035669
    Abstract: An apparatus for testing electronic devices, having a test head coupled to at least one immovably mounted test socket, a positioning device for positioning the electronic device in testing position and a lead-backer attached to the positioning device for supporting the electronic device and pressing it against the test socket. A supply port for supplying a temperature control medium to a temperature control system of the said lead-backer is immovably mounted beside the said test socket, the said temperature control system of the said lead-backer and the said supply port communicate with each other when the electronic device is in testing position, whereby the said temperature control medium flows from the said supply port to the said temperature control system of the said lead-backer.

  • Patent number: 8232815
    Abstract: A plunger for holding and moving electrical components in particular IC's to and from a contacting device connected to a test bed, comprises a head piece with a fluid distribution chamber through which temperature-controlled fluid flows. A suction head is arranged such that the temperature-controlled fluid flows around the suction head and is diverted along the suction head to the component.

  • Patent number: 8138779
    Abstract: A handler for electronic components, in particular IC's, for controlling the temperature of the components and supplying and removing said components to and from a test device has circulating units that can be moved along a circulating track. Each unit has at least one retaining unit for retaining a component. In addition, the circulating units have temperature-control chambers containing components that are retained by the retaining units, so that the temperature of the components can be controlled during transport from the charging station to the test station.
