An integrated circuit carrier system having a carrier frame made up of a plurality of juxtaposed sides and an interior configuration sized to matingly engage an integrated circuit package. The integrated circuit package fits within the frame and is held in position therein by a plurality of locking clips which slidably engage a plurality of top and bottom channels diagonally disposed at each of the corners of the frame. Each locking clip is made up of a substantially C-shaped structure having an uppermost leg and a lowermost leg. The uppermost leg ends in a substantially perpendicularly disposed locking tab and the lowermost leg has a variety of locking arrangements, one of which permits the locking clip to be locked in two locking positions. In one locking position the integrated circuit package is held securely in place while in the other locking position the integrated circuit package may be inserted or removed from the carrier.
