Abstract

In the case of a handling apparatus for passing electronic components, in particular ICs, which are provided in a component carrier, to a testing apparatus, a component holder having a positioning device is provided and has movable clamping elements which can be moved from an open position, in which they are at a distance from the side edges of the component, into a clamping position, in which they apply a pressure force, which prevents lateral movement of the component, to the side edges of the component.
