Abstract

A socket for use in the burn-in test, which is characterized in that a contact element and a fixed member are displaced from their original positions in connection with the forward motion of the cover member for charging an IC package into the main socket body. Upon the return of the fixed member and the contact element to their respective initial positions, the leads of the IC package are held between them, thereby carrying out the reliable fixing of the IC package. Additionally, the fixed member is integrally constructed with a compressive part of molded resin and a metal part that supports the compressive part.
