Abstract

A first spring 54 is provided between a support member 51 driven in the Z-axis direction and a heat block 53 , and biases the support member 51 and the heat block 53 in the direction of separating them from each other. A second spring 57 is provided between a first pusher 55 for pressing a die 81 of an IC device 8 and a second pusher 56 for pressing a substrate 82 of the IC device 8 , and biases the first pusher 55 and the second pusher 56 in the direction of separating them from each other.

Claims (17)

1. An electronic device handling apparatus for pressing terminals of an electronic device to be tested against a contact portion of a test head to conduct a test on the electronic device, comprising:

a first pressing member for pressing a first part of the electronic device;

a second pressing member for pressing a second part of the electronic device;

a body side-first pressing member made of an inelastic body and elastically biased in the pressing direction, for pressing said first pressing member;

a body side-second pressing member made of inelastic body for pressing said second pressing member;

a convex portion protruding to the second pressing member side formed on an upper portion of the first pressing member;

another convex portion protruding to the first pressing member side formed on a lower portion of the second pressing member; and

an elastic body provided between the convex portion of the first pressing member and the another convex portion of the second pressing member, the elastic body biasing the first pressing member and the second pressing member to the direction of separating them from each other,

wherein said first pressing member and said second pressing member are elastically connected in the pressing/receding direction, wherein the first pressing member presses a die of an electronic device to be tested, and the second pressing member presses a substrate of the electronic device to be tested.

2. An electronic device handling apparatus for pressing terminals of an electronic device to be tested against a contact portion of a test head to conduct a test on the electronic device, comprising:

a support member;

a joint member disposed on a peripheral portion of a lower side of the support member;

a heat block disposed at a center portion of the lower side of the support member;

a first pressing member disposed at a lower side of the heat block, the first pressing member for pressing a first part of the electronic device; and

a second pressing member disposed at a lower side of the joint member, the second pressing member for pressing a second part of the electronic device;

wherein the heat block is elastically biased in the pressing direction for pressing said first pressing member, wherein the joint member presses said second pressing member, wherein said first pressing member and said second pressing member are elastically connected in the pressing/receding direction.

3. The electronic device handling apparatus as set forth in claim 2 , wherein an elastic member is provided between said heat block and said support member, wherein said elastic member biases said heat block and said support member in opposite directions.
