Abstract
An injection-molded single piece holder for a plastic leaded chip carrier having "J" leads. The holder is made of conductive plastic and has two flexible, snap-acting arms which engage the top surface of the chip carrier to retain it in the holder while at the same time protecting the "J" leads and leaving them exposed for testing. The holder has supporting surfaces with contours which match those of chip carriers to assure a predetermined orientation of each carrier in the holder. The holder has one or more locating notches for engaging corresponding ribs in a magazine to insure that plural holders stored in the magazine all have the same orientation within the magazine.
