Abstract

An improved connection assembly for connecting a burn-in component board located within a burn-in chamber to control circuitry located outside the chamber is disclosed. The assembly includes a connecting device for connecting the component board to the control circuitry. The improvement includes an isolation apparatus for isolating the connecting device from the chamber, the isolation apparatus including (i) a cavity extending through at least a portion of the wall of the chamber and defining a cavity base disposed between the inner surface of such wall and the exterior of such chamber and (ii) a cavity cover disposed between the cavity base and the interior of the chamber such that contact between the air of the chamber and the connecting device is substantially reduced and the flow of air between the inside and outside of the chamber adjacent the connector is substantially inhibited.
