A carrier system for PGA components comprising a carrier frame and a removable retaining means for capturing a PGA component against an insulating plate in the carrier frame. Bumpers at opposite ends of the carrier dissipate mechanical shocks to protect the component. A removable alignment means coacts with the carrier frame to facilitate the positioning of a PGA component on the insulating plate. A removal means facilitates the disengagement of the removable retaining means from the carrier frame when it is appropriate to remove the PGA component.

A carrier for transporting an electrical component along a motion axis, said carrier being subject to the application of a shock force having a component along the motion axis and comprising: A. a carrier frame means including support means for the electrical component and including peripheral skirt means at the periphery of said support means, said skirt means including at least one skirt portion thereof that is transverse to the motion axis and that has an exterior surface lying in a plane, and B. shock absorbing means having a central portion spaced from the exterior of said skirt portion exterior surface and overlapped therewith and having offsetting end portions intermediate said skirt portion and said central portion, said central portion being deflectable about said end portions toward the exterior surface plane thereby to absorb stresses from any shock force component applied along the motion axis and to minimize the transfer of such stresses to an electrical component in said carrier, said overlapped skirt portion limiting the deflection of said central portion beyond the exterior surface plane.
