Abstract

A carrier adapted for diverse electrical and electronic components to facilitate shipping, handling and testing of these components. The carrier comprises a conductive frame and an insulative insert. The insulative insert electrically isolates each terminal lead of the component from other terminal leads as well as from all conductive material. The conductive frame abuts additional surfaces of the insulative insert, as well as forming most external surfaces of the carrier structure, thereby dissipating any electrostatic charges that can accumulate.
