Abstract
Disclosed is apparatus for aligning a plurality of circuit packages in a row and transferring the row of circuit packages to a corresponding row of receiving sockets in a burn-in board. The apparatus includes a transfer arm carrying a transfer rack pivotal about a non-rotatable shaft which moves axially to raise and lower the transfer arm. The transfer rack includes a plurality of reciprocal blades adapted to receive the circuit packages therebetween and transfer them to the receiving sockets. The reciprocal blades are retracted to release the circuit packages and the pins on the circuit packages are inserted into the sockets by spring loaded plungers positioned intermediate the blades.
