Abstract

A socket for the inspection of semiconductor devices is disclosed which has laterally extended leads. The device is mounted in a mounting seat of the socket body and results in improvement of the inspection process because difficult steps such as soldering can be omitted. The socket is composed of a socket body which is mountable on a circuit board having a mounting seat therefor, a lead frame intervening between the socket body and the circuit board and an anisotropically electroconductive elastic connector sheet.
