Abstract
A zero insertion force burn-in and test socket is disclosed which employs a vertically moving top to open and close contact pins which maintain electrical contact with the leads of a surface-mount electronic device package. The socket has a replaceable tray to adapt the socket to various sizes of packages. Horizontal movement of the contact pins is caused and controlled by vertical movement of the top of the socket device.
