Patent attributes
An electronic device test apparatus includes a plurality of testers on which are mounted test heads that are connected to test outputters for outputting test signals to the electronic devices and for receiving response signals from the electronic devices. A loading transporter is provided at a frontmost stage of the testers that transports the electronic devices from a previous process conveyance medium to a test tray before loading the electronic devices into the testers. An unloading transporter is provided at a rearmost stage of the testers that unloads the electronic devices from the test tray to a later process conveyance medium corresponding to the response signals. A transporter is provided between the testers that transports the test tray from a previous process tester to a later process tester. The transporter includes a buffer that holds test trays to absorb a waiting time due to differences in processing capacities between test trays.
