Abstract

The present invention provides apparatus for supporting during a testing operation a leadframe formed with at least one row of non-singulated semiconductor devices. The apparatus comprises a main body and a leadframe support member, and the leadframe support member is formed with at least one groove for receiving semiconductor devices such that in use leads extending from said devices lie on a surface of said support member. The invention also relates to a system for transporting devices to and from a test probe head.
