Claim Text:
1. A system for testing electronic assemblies (EAs) comprising: carriers for holding EAs; and slots for testing at least some of the EAs in parallel, each slot being configured to receive a corresponding carrier containing an EA and to test the EA; wherein a carrier comprises a first part and a second part, at least one of the first part or the second part comprising a first structure; wherein the first structure is movable to enable electrical connection between the EA and an electrical interface; and wherein the first part is configured to move towards the second part to enclose the EA in the carrier and to cause the electrical connection between the EA and the electrical interface through the first structure, wherein motion of the first part towards the second part comprises a first motion in which the first part moves angularly relative to a surface of the EA until the first part is substantially parallel to the second part and separated from the second part, and a second motion in which the first part moves towards the EA in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to a surface of the EA.
