Abstract: A circuit board handling and testing apparatus (10) comprising a housing (20) having a top surface (22). Attached to the housing (20) is a magazine assembly (38) which accommodates a plurality of circuit boards (12) from which the circuit boards are dispensed onto a testing assembly (102) attached to the housing (20). The testing assembly (102) includes a modular testing component (100) receiving the circuit board and performing a testing protocol thereon. A reciprocal transport assembly (88) attached to the housing (20) pushes the circuit board dispensed onto the testing assembly (102) laterally into the modular testing component (100). A sorting assembly (154) attached to the housing (20) selectively directs the tested circuit board (12) into a particular containment vessel based upon the outcome of the testing protocol. The testing assembly (102) ejects the circuit board into the sorting assembly (154) on completion of the testing protocol. The modular testing component is removable from the testing assembly and replaceable with an alternative modular testing component.
