ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly particularly adapted for burn-in/testing of IC chips (10) held in a TAB film carrier (16, 18) includes a frame (32) mounted on a printed circuit board (26), a lid (44) pivoted to the frame (32), and a handle (54) pivoted to the lid (44). The frame (32) holds a connector housing assembly (40) which has contact members (42) engaged with contact pads (28) on the printed circuit board (26). The carrier (16, 18) is placed in the frame (32) where it is releasably retained so that contact pads (14) on the film (12) engage the contact members (42) of the contact housing assembly (40). Then handle (54) is utilized to provide a mechanical advantage so that the lid (44) generates appropriate contact forces to ensure electrical connections between the contact pads (14) on the film (12) and the contact pads (28) on the printed circuit board 26 ), and the handle (54) includes a latch mechanism (58, 62) for locking the lid (44) to the frame (32). Withing the frame (32), there is structure (70, 72) for ejecting the carrier (16, 18) after the lid (44) is moved to its open position.
