Abstract
An IC socket is provided with a pressure cover so as to be opened and closed about a rotational shaft with respect to a socket body, and when the pressure cover is closed, an IC package mounted on the socket body is pressed. In the IC socket, a stopper member is disposed to lock the pressure cover in a state that the pressure cover and the socket body are closed, a proximity member for rotating the pressure cover to the socket body side so that the pressure cover further approaches towards the socket body side from the closed state thereof. The stopper member includes a stopper piece mounted to a support shaft, which is supported to be movable in a tangential direction of a circle with the rotational shaft being the center thereof with respect to the pressure cover, and a stopper piece engaging portion formed to the socket body with which the stopper piece is engaged, and the proximity member is provided with a separation member mounted to the support shaft. A lever member is provided for the separation member in a manner such that when the lever member is operated, the separation member is rotated in one direction thereby to separate the support shaft from a surface of the pressur…
