Abstract:
1. A device holder subassembly, comprising: a burn-in board substrate having an upper and a lower sides; a plurality of sockets mounted to the burn-in substrate, each for releasably holding a respective electronic device; a plurality of device holder terminals within each socket on the upper side of the device holder substrate, each device holder terminal positioned for contacting a respective contact on a respective electronic device; a plurality of device holder signal contacts secured to the device holder substrate, each device holder signal contact having a surface for releasably mating with a respective surface of a respective signal connector terminal; a plurality of device holder signal conductors connecting the device holder signal contacts to device holder terminals connected to signal contacts on the electronic devices; a device holder power contact secured to the device holder substrate, the power connector having a contact surface for releasably mating with a respective surface of a respective power connector terminal; and at least one device holder power conductor connecting the device holder board power contact to a power contact on one of the electronic devices within one of the sockets, wherein the device holder signal and power contacts are for mating the signal and power connector terminals, the signal and power connector terminals including first and second sets of connector terminals on the upper side of the device holder substrate and third and fourth sets of connector terminals on the lower side of the device holder substrate, the second set of connector terminals being spaced from the first set of connector terminals in a direction that the device holder engages with the connector body and, the fourth set of connector terminals being spaced from the third set of connector terminals in the direction that the device holder engages with the connector body, wherein the first, second, third and fourth sets of connector terminals are connected to respective ones of the device holder terminals on the upper side of the device holder substrate.
