Abstract
A socket for positioning and installing an integrated circuit chip having terminals on one side thereof on a conductive elastomer includes a base which positions the chip over the elastomer. A camming member is moveable relative to the base between an open position disengaged from the chip and allowing the chip to be installed in the socket to a closed position in which the actuating member engages a side of the chip and exerts a force on the chip to embed the terminals in the elastomer to thereby provide an electrical connection between the terminals and the elastomer.
