Patent ID: 7633304

Claim:
A device for testing electronic components, in particular ICs, under particular pressure conditions, comprising: a dividable pressure test chamber having two pressure chamber halves which can be separated from one another and brought together, and which can be brought into a contact position in which they tightly enclose a cavity, the pressure test chamber comprising contact elements which extend into the cavity so that contacts of components to be tested, which are arranged in the cavity, can be brought in contact with assigned contact elements, the contact elements extending through one of the pressure chamber halves and in electrical contact with an electronic testing device, wherein each contact element is subdivided into a first contact element section passing through one of the pressure chamber halves and a second contact element section, which is distanced from the first contact element section and is arranged inside the cavity, an air-tight sealing board arranged inside the cavity and extending transversely over the contact elements and sealed peripherally from one of the pressure chamber halves, the first contact element sections being arranged on one side of the sealing board and the second contact element sections, lying opposite the first contact element sections, being arranged on the opposite side of the sealing board, and the first contact element sections being electrically connected to the opposite second contact element sections via conductive sections of the sealing board, and a component specific DUT board arranged inside the cavity between the second contact element sections and third contact element sections, which are distanced from the second contact element sections, and with which the contacts of the components can be brought in contact.
