Abstract

An adapter for locating an integrated circuit having a plurality of pin-like elements extending therefrom which are adapted to be electrically interconnected with electrical contacts on a printed circuit board includes a plurality of generally cylindrical socket contact receiving members in each of which is located a socket contact for receiving one of the pin-like elements extending from the integrated circuit. The receiving members are spaced apart from one another so that a space exists between adjacent receiving members to allow inspection of the solder joints. The adjacent receiving members are connected to one another so that the plurality of receiving members form a single unit. The adapter can be used in connection with various types of integrated chip packages.
