Abstract

A semiconductor device socket prevents adhesion of foreign material to mounting surfaces of external leads of a semiconductor device. A positioning base of the socket supports external leads of the semiconductor device such that the lead ends of the leads do not contact a body of the socket. Movable contact terminals of the socket disposed opposite the external leads can move into and out of contact with the external leads.
