Abstract
Disclosed is a load carrier for use with a test chamber. Such carrier includes (a) an insertion portion having a length about equal to the thickness of a chamber wall, (b) a carrier portion extending away from the chamber and (c) a flange interposed between the portions for sealing contact with the wall. The insertion portion extends through an opening in a chamber wall to connect to a rack holding printed circuit boards. The carrier portion holds a test device connected to the circuit boards through the load carrier. The load carrier is removable and can operate in 'standalone' fashion or be tested at a location remote from the chamber when another load carrier is substituted in the chamber. Chamber backplane wiring is eliminated or substantially eliminated.
