Abstract
A test system for testing numerous parts simultaneously. A stack of test boards is provided in a test chamber. Each of the test boards has a region of contactors on it. To perform a test, trays are inserted between the boards in the stack and aligned with the regions of contactors. A mechanism is then activated to press the trays towards the boards, thereby making contact between the contactors and devices on the trays. The test system is described in conjunction with a burn-in oven. Processing time is reduced because individual handling of chips is significantly reduced.
