Abstract
An adapter and method for aligning and non-permanently connecting the external leads of a plurality of integrated circuit devices to conductors on a substrate of a multi-chip module. The adapter includes a plurality of component frames, each component frame being configured to receive at least one integrated circuit device. The plurality of component frames is attached to at least one support rod. The support rod with attached component frames is placed over one side of the multi-chip module substrate and the external leads of the integrated circuit devices are aligned with corresponding conductors on the multi-chip module substrate. A second support rod, which may also have component frames attached thereto, is placed over the opposing side of the multi-chip module substrate. The ends of the first support rod are attached to the ends of the second support rod such that the external leads of the plurality of IC devices are forced into electrical contact with the corresponding conductors on the multi-chip module substrate.
