Stackable test apparatus for protecting integrated circuit packages during testing
View Patent ↗A stackable test apparatus is disclosed including a body having a first surface with a raised portion extending from the first surface along a perimeter of the body and a plurality of stacking pins extending away from the first surface arraigned in a stacking pin pattern. Also included is a plurality of stacking pin receivers located on a second surface of the body, the stacking pin receivers arraigned in a pattern to match the stacking pin pattern and sized to accept the stacking pin.
1. A stackable test apparatus for protecting electronic packages, comprising:
a body having a shape with a first surface and a second surface, a raised portion extending from the first surface along a perimeter of the body;
the body material being selected from the group of materials consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, Teflon and other suitable polymers; and
a plurality of stacking pins extending away from the first surface arraigned in a stacking pin pattern;
the stacking pins being made from the same material as the body.
2. The test apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of stacking pin receivers located on the second surface, the stacking pin receivers arraigned in a pattern to match the stacking pin pattern and sized to accept the stacking pin.
3. The test apparatus of claim 1 wherein the stacking pins are located on the raised portion.
4. The test apparatus of claim 1 wherein the shape is a disk shape.
5. The test apparatus of claim 4 wherein the disk shape has a hole near a center and a second raised portion around a perimeter of the hole.
6. The test apparatus of claim 1 wherein the body and stacking pins are molded together.
7. A stackable disk apparatus for protecting electronic packages, comprising:
a disk shaped body having a first surface and a second surface, a raised portion extending from the first surface along a perimeter of the body;
the disk shaped body material being selected from the group of materials consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, Teflon and other suitable polymers;
a plurality of stacking pins extending away from the first surface arraigned in a stacking pin pattern;
the stacking pins being made from the same material as the body; and
a plurality of stacking pin receivers located on the second surface, the stacking pin receivers arraigned in a pattern to match the stacking pin pattern and sized to accept the stacking pins.
8. The stackable disk of claim 7 wherein the stacking pins are located on the raised portion.
9. The stackable disk of claim 7 wherein the disk shaped body has a hole near a center and a second raised portion around a perimeter of the hole.
10. The stackable disk of claim 7 wherein the body and stacking pins are molded together.
