Claims29
A handler for holding an electronic device during high voltage testing, the handler comprising:
- conductive lead guides, each lead guide having a single conductive surface for shorting all leads on one side of an electronic device under test;
- and
- a plurality of connectors connecting the lead guides to conductors.
A method of high-voltage testing an electronic device, comprising:
- pressing, by a handler, a conductive lead guide having a single conductive surface against all leads on one side of the electronic device;
- pressing, by the handler, the lead guide against connectors;
- and
- applying, by the handler, a high voltage to the connectors.
A method of fabricating a handler for holding an electronic device during high voltage testing, comprising:
- mounting lead guides in a position to facilitate each lead guide contacting all leads on one side of an electronic device under test with a single conductive surface of the lead guide;
- and
- mounting connectors in a position to contact the lead guides.
A handler for holding an electronic device during high voltage testing, the handler comprising:
- conductive lead guides, each lead guide for pressing down against and shorting all leads on one side of an electronic device under test;
- and
- a plurality of connectors connecting the lead guides to conductors.
