Tester apparatus with various components for functionality
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240036103A1) describes a testing apparatus designed to test electronic devices. The apparatus includes a socket with a formation for holding an electronic device with an input terminal and a light emitter. An input contact on the socket provides electric power to the input terminal, causing the light emitter to transmit light. A temperature modification device and a heat sink on opposite sides of the socket create a temperature differential to modify the electronic device's temperature. A heat dissipation device connected to the heat sink removes the generated heat.
Furthermore, the apparatus includes additional components such as a thin chuck, a thermal chuck, a light-absorbing coating on the heat sink, and a heat dissipation device with fins for efficient heat removal. The method of testing electronic devices involves inserting the device into the socket, providing electric power, changing the temperature using the temperature modification device, absorbing light with the heat sink, and removing the heat with the heat dissipation device. This innovative testing apparatus aims to provide a comprehensive and efficient way to test electronic devices by controlling temperature and heat dissipation effectively.
