Abstract

An example test socket for a test system includes a receptacle to make electrical and mechanical connections to a device under test (DUT) and a lid to cover the DUT in the receptacle. The lid is controllable to open automatically to enable receipt of the DUT in the receptacle and, following receipt of the DUT, to close automatically to cover the DUT in the receptacle. Closing the lid applies force to the DUT to complete the electrical and mechanical connections between the test socket and the DUT.
