Abstract

An electronic component handling apparatus includes: a moving device that presses a device under test (DUT) against a socket of a test head. The moving device includes: a pusher that contacts the DUT; and a heater that heats the DUT through the pusher. The pusher includes: an internal space; and a first flow path that communicates with the internal space. Fluid from the test head is supplied to the internal space through the first flow path.

Claims (60)

1. An electronic component handling apparatus comprising:

a moving device that presses a device under test (DUT) against a socket of a test head connected to a tester testing the DUT, wherein

the moving device comprises a pusher that contacts the DUT,

the pusher comprises:

an internal space; and

a first flow path that communicates with the internal space, and

the moving device presses the DUT against the socket while the tester sends test signals to the DUT through the test head and fluid is supplied from the test head to the internal space through the first flow path.

2. The electronic component handling apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the pusher comprises a first connection port that is detachably connected to the test head and receives the fluid from the test head; and

the first flow path communicates with the first connection port.

3. An electronic component handling apparatus comprising:

a moving device that presses a device under test (DUT) against a socket of a test head, wherein

the moving device comprises a pusher that contacts the DUT,

the pusher comprises:

an internal space;

a first flow path that communicates with the internal space;

a guide pin that fits into a guide hole formed in a socket guide of the test head; and

a connection pin that fits into a connection hole formed in the socket guide,

at least a part of the first flow path is disposed inside the connection pin,

the first connection port is formed in the connection pin, and

fluid is supplied from the test head to the internal space through the first flow path.

4. The electronic component handling apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

in a state where the DUT contacting the pusher faces the socket, the distance between the guide pin and the guide hole is shorter than the distance between the connection pin and the connection hole, and the guide pin fits into the guide hole before the connection pin fits into the connection hole.

5. An electronic component handling apparatus comprising:

a moving device that presses a device under test (DUT) against a socket of a test head, wherein

the moving device comprises a pusher that contacts the DUT,

the pusher comprises:

an internal space;

a first flow path that communicates with the internal space; and

a guide pin that fits into a guide hole formed in a socket guide of the test head,

at least a part of the first flow path is disposed inside the guide pin,

the first connection port is formed in the guide pin, and

fluid is supplied from the test head to the internal space through the first flow path.

6. An electronic component testing apparatus comprising:

the electronic component handling apparatus according to claim 3 ; and

a test head that comprises:

a socket;

a socket guide disposed around the socket; and

a second connection port to which the first connection port is detachably connected, and

the first connection port connects to the second connection port when the DUT is pressed to the socket by the moving device.

7. The electronic component testing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the test head further comprises a second flow path that communicates with the second connection port, and

the electronic component handling apparatus further comprises:

a supply device that supplies the fluid; and

a third flow path that connects the supply device and the second flow path.

8. The electronic component testing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the pusher further comprises:

a third connection port that is detachably connected to the test head, wherein the fluid flows to the test head through the third connection port; and

a fourth flow path that has one end that communicates with the internal space and another end that communicates with the third connection port,

the test head comprises:

a fourth connection port that is detachably connected to the third connection port; and

a fifth flow path that has one end that communicates with the fourth connection port and another end that is open to the atmosphere,

the third connection port connects to the fourth connection port when the DUT is pressed into the socket by the moving device, and

the fluid is discharged to the atmosphere through the fourth and fifth flow paths after passing through the internal space.

9. The electronic component testing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the pusher further comprises:

a fourth flow path that has one end that communicates with the internal space and another end that is open to the atmosphere, and

the fluid is discharged to the atmosphere through the fourth flow path after passing through the internal space.

10. The electronic component testing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the fluid is room temperature air.
