Back-end equipment

Test handlers

A test handler picks up packaged devices, places them in contact with the tester's sockets, holds them at the required test temperature, and sorts them by test result. It works together with a test system and largely sets how many devices can be tested per hour.

What it does


Handlers for memory test many devices in parallel, while handlers for high-end processors focus on removing the heat the device generates during test.
