ABSTRACT:
A tray for storing an integrated circuit component has an upper side and an array of terminals on a bottom side, four side walls, and four corners. The tray has a substantially planar base having a top surface and a bottom surface and a periphery. A plurality of pocket areas are formed in the top surface of the base within the periphery, each pocket area adapted to hold an integrated circuit component and to center the integrated circuit component within the pocket area. Each pocket area further comprising a plurality of corner guides with component engagement members contacting and supporting the integrated circuit component at the four principal corner portions thereof and the corner guides preventing further contact between the integrated circuit component and the base. The component engagement members supporting the integrated circuit component at its intersection of the side surfaces and bottom surface. The component engagement members comprise an angled guide-in portion and a seating surface portion. The angled guide-in portions extending to the seating portions for positioning and repeatedly properly centering the packages. The seating surface portions are obliquely positioned with respect to the bottom side of the component when the component is properly seated.
