Abstract
Disclosed are mounting housings for use on burn-in boards, circuit boards and the like. The housings include an insulating base support containing a plurality of electrically conductive axially elongated pins extending therethrough. A spreader mounted for reciprocal movement with respect to the pins and normal to the first major face of the base support has a plurality of spreader members adjacent the pins so that movement of the spreader deflects the pins longitudinally to permit insertion of the leads projecting from the device package between the pins and permitting the pins to contact only the edges of the leads.
