Abstract
A carrier for a flatpack integrated circuit component. The carrier includes a square frame formed of a conductive plastic and a series of electrically isolating comb inserts for supporting terminals from a flat pack integrated circuit component. Elongated slots at each of the corners of the frame support linearly reciprocal slide tabs that move between first and second positions. In the first position a finger from each slide tab overlies the frame member; in a second position the finger overlies either a portion of the component housing or a portion of the comb inserts and at least one terminal from the integrated circuit in the comb at each corner thereby to retain the component in the carrier.
