A for positioning a miniaturized piece includes a positioning structure that forms a first cavity designed to receive with play the miniaturized piece and a second cavity communicating with the first cavity. At least one electrical-contact terminal is provided facing the second cavity and is electrically coupleable to an electronic testing device designed to carry out an electrical test on the miniaturized piece. An actuator device causes a vibration of the positioning structure such that the vibration translates the miniaturized piece towards the second cavity until it penetrates at least in part into the second cavity.

Vibrating device for positioning a miniaturized piece in a testing accommodation, and positioning method

An embodiment of a device for positioning a miniaturized piece, including: a positioning structure, which forms a first cavity, designed to receive with play the miniaturized piece, and a second cavity communicating with the first cavity; at least one electrical-contact terminal, facing the second cavity and electrically coupleable to an electronic testing device, designed to carry out an electrical test on the miniaturized piece; and an actuator device, which causes a vibration of the positioning structure, the vibration being such that the miniaturized piece translates, in use, towards the second cavity, until it penetrates at least in part into the second cavity.
