Abstract

A holder for holding an integrated circuit device to be tested in contact with a contact set on a circuit board has a support base that supports a contact set circuit board, and a hinged cover that will move between an open and a closed position. The hinged cover is pivotally mounted on a vertically slidable frame. The frame is cam actuated to move the frame and cover toward and away from the base. When the cam operator is moved to move the cams, to in turn move the frame and cover away from the base, a portion of the cam operator engages an arm on the cover and pivots the cover to an open position. The cover can easily be moved to its closed position manually and then the cam operator becomes accessible for operating the cams to clamp the integrated circuit to be tested against a contact set printed circuit board on the support base.
