Abstract

A test handler comprises a main rotary turret and a loading station operative to convey electronic components to functional modules of the main rotary turret. An auxiliary rotary turret incorporating multiple carrier modules then receives electronic components from the functional modules of the main rotary turret. Multiple testing stations located along a periphery of the auxiliary turret are operative to receive electronic components from the carrier modules for testing while the loading station is concurrently conveying electronic components to the functional modules of the main rotary turret, so that the impact of transfer time is reduced or eliminated in a test process cycle of the test handler.
