Abstract

A product carrier and an environmental test chamber are constructed so that the carrier is positioned by sliding it into the chamber. The leading wall of the carrier includes an extended port for electrical connections and which projects in the direction of sliding movement of the carrier. The extended port mates with a junction to an external test control circuit, the junction being carried on a chamber wall in the path of movement of the carrier, but spaced from the test chamber itself. The external junction, being on that wall, is not exposed to the test environment within the chamber.
