Abstract
A package is provided for connecting a plurality of molded carriers each having an integrated circuit which has been previously bonded to the electrical leads of a TAB tape. The package flexibly and sequentially connects a plurality of the carriers, so as to form a flexible and continuous chain of the carriers. The package preferably utilizes a flexible conductive tape which is continuously provided on parallel ends, or edges, of each carrier, so as to link the plurality of carriers together. The package permits continuous feeding of the carriers into subsequent test and assembly machines utilized to attach the integrated circuit to a printed circuit board.
