Abstract

An apparatus for inserting integrated circuit packages into sockets on a burn-in board includes a plurality of loader heads, one for each column of sockets on the board, for pushing the packages into the sockets; a plurality of support means, one for each loader head, for aligning and supporting the package under the loader head; and a plurality of channels, one for each loader head, for delivering IC packages to the support means. Movement of the loader head in the downward direction clamps the IC package between the loader head and the support means for insertion of the package into the socket.
