Abstract:
1. A device for compensating for heat generation in a modular IC test handler configured to receive cooling fluid from an exterior source and spray the cooling fluid onto modular ICs during testing, wherein the device is attached to a press unit including a frame and a plurality of push bars arranged at fixed intervals on a front surface of the frame for pushing edges of modular ICs mounted on carriers to connect the modular ICs to test sockets, the device comprising: a pair of supporting members provided adjacent to the press unit, each of the pair of supporting members having a cooling fluid flow passage formed therein for flow of cooling fluid; and at least one cooling fluid spraying unit extending between the pair of supporting members configured to be in fluid communication with the pair of supporting members so as to spray the cooling fluid supplied through the cooling fluid flow passages toward faces of modular ICs in an oblique direction with respect to a central plane of the at least one cooling fluid spraying unit.
