Patent ID: 7528617

Claim:
An apparatus for testing a plurality of semiconductor devices, comprising: a body comprising a first member and a movable surface opposite said first member and configured to be movable toward and away from said first member; said first member comprising a first surface opposite said movable surface, a receptacle portion, and a second surface opposite said first surface, wherein said first member defines at least one opening that extends through said first member from said first surface to said second surface; said receptacle portion configured to receive a tray holding a plurality of semiconductor devices having exposed electrical contacts, such that the exposed electrical contacts of each of the semiconductor devices are accessible from said second surface of said first member through said at least one opening; said movable surface comprising a plurality of extending members, each located at a predetermined position on said movable surface facing said first member, whereby when said movable surface is a predetermined distance from said first member each one of said extending members contacts a corresponding one of the semiconductor devices to secure its placement in the tray; and an interface connected to said body, said interface comprising a first electrical interface configured for electrical connection to the exposed electrical contacts of each of the semiconductor devices and a second electrical interface electrically connected to said first electrical interface and having electrical contacts for connection to a test device, wherein said first electrical interface is separately removable from said interface.
