Abstract: An apparatus includes a clip mounted to a base that pivots about a first pivot axis between a first position and a second position. An abutment surface of the clip is spaced from a path of a carrier structure when the clip is in the first position. The abutment surface engages the carrier structure to secure the carrier structure and a device to the apparatus when the clip is in the second clip position. A cam includes a first surface that pivots the clip to the first clip position when the cam is in the first cam position. The cam includes a second surface that extends into an opening of the base when the cam is in a first position to allow a stop plate pin to engage the cam to rotate the cam from the first position to a second position when a stop plate is installed.

Abstract: A tray loading system for tested electronic components including a tray loading bin adapted to prevent trays of a first configuration from being operably received in a first bin operating mode and to operably receive trays of the first configuration in a second bin operating mode. The system also includes an operating mode switching assembly adapted to automatically change from the second operating mode to the first operating mode in response to an operation associated with removal of loaded trays of the first configuration from the tray loading bin.
