Abstract
Disclosed are methods and apparatus for rapidly and automatically unloading electronic circuit packages from zero insertion force sockets on a burn-in board or the like by inverting the burn-in board and placing sequential rows of the sockets in compressive rolling contact with a roller supported beneath the burn-in board. Means are provided to capture the electronic circuit packages as they fall from the sockets and to store the packages in carrier tubes.
