  • Patent number: 10309986
    Abstract: A temperature-controlled module for electronic devices and a testing apparatus provided with the same mainly include a temperature-controlled tray, an upper board and a dry-air supply device. The temperature-controlled tray includes holding cavities for accommodating electronic devices and a fluid chamber for cooling fluid. The upper board is furnished with through holes, while the upper board and the temperature-controlled tray are spaced by a predetermined distance. The dry-air supply device provides dry air to a space between the temperature-controlled tray and the upper board. Thereupon, by having cooling fluid to flow inside the temperature-controlled tray, the temperature-controlled tray can be kept in a lower predetermined temperature so as to rapidly cool down the electronic device. In addition, by providing the upper board and the dry-air supply device to allow dry air to flow through the surface of the electronic device, then the water-condensation phenomenon and air leakage can avoided.

  • Publication number: 20130113509
    Abstract: A temperature control system for IC tester, comprising: a test socket; a compressing device including a heat exchanger and a thermoelectric cooler (TEC); and a test head having a temperature sensor. The test head is configured at the front end of the compressing device such that, upon placing at least one device under test (DUT) onto the test socket, the test head coerces tightly one of the DUTs through downward pressure from the compressing device thereby allowing the temperature sensor to detect the surface temperature of the DUT to obtain a temperature signal, and then feed such a temperature signal back to a control processing unit for operations to generate a linear control signal thus that, through the control of the linear control signal, the heat absorption and heat discharge functions of the TEC are enabled to further control the temperature of the DUT within a determined range.
