Abstract
A carrier for an integrated circuit (IC) can has a plurality of low profile symmetrically distributed flexible arms extending from the carrier base with small hook projections for engaging a flange on the perimeter of the can. The low arm profile enables information to be printed on the side of the can while it is in the carrier. The symmetrical distribution of the flexible arms imparts an even load upon the can to prevent bending of the leads. The carrier base has round holes for receiving electrical leads projecting from the can to minimize the scraping of the leads during insertion and removal of the can from the carrier.
