ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to the field of programming, testing, or burn-in integrated circuits. A testing device is disclosed whereby contact with the leads of an integrated circuit is made while the integrated circuit is in the shipping tray. Contact is made from a jig which is lowered onto the integrated circuit and makes contact at the shoulder of the leads of the integrated circuit, thereby contacting the integrated circuit at the strongest point of the lead and insuring good contact to the desired lead. The testing mechanism may include one jig or more jigs up to one jig for each integrated circuit in an integrated circuit storage tray. The invention allows for the testing of integrated circuits with a minimum of physical movement and manipulation of the integrated circuits.
