Abstract
A semiconductor burn-in oven includes a housing having a chamber, a heating device, testing circuitry having circuit connectors, and a seating assembly. The seating assembly includes a main frame, a main frame actuator connected to the main frame, a plurality of hook members connected to the main frame, and a hook driver. The main frame actuator is configured to drive movement of the main frame along a first axis between an extended position and a retracted position. The hook driver is configured to pivot each of the hook members about a pivot axis between a receiving position and a latching position. Board connectors of burn-in boards supported within the chamber are driven to seat with the circuit connectors when the burn-in boards are latched by the hook members in their latching position and the main frame is moved from the extended position to the retracted position.
