ABSTRACT:
Electrical devices such as leaded electronic components, i.e., components with extended input/output leads, are loaded in a magazine that protects them from electrostatic discharge. Each component is held in a component holder with a conductive shorting or discharge pad, comprising a bundle of conductive filaments within a conductive foraminous web that can be moved into contact with the leads to protect them from electrostatic discharge, and moved away from the leads to allow access for testing or processing. At a testing or processing station, the magazine is placed on a mating base and the devices are supported and positioned by supports on the magazine and base. Upon completion of a testing or processing sequence, the magazine can be separated from the base and moved to another testing or processing station, where the magazine is placed on another base.
