Abstract
Abstract In a device for receiving components (8', 8", 8"'), particularly integrated chips, in receiving portions (15, 19, 20, 21, 22) of an input and/or output magazine of a component testing machine, with a testing device, the receiving portions are formed by providing grooves for each portion, in a support plate (14), at a distance corresponding to the varying distance between connections of the components to be received.
