Abstract

A testing base for a semiconductor device includes a retaining seat, a base board and a press unit. The retaining seat has a top side formed with a receiving cavity. The receiving cavity is adapted to receive the semiconductor device therein. The base board is mounted in a bottom portion of the receiving cavity of the retaining seat. The base board has a contacting side that confronts a contact mounting side of the semiconductor device when the semiconductor device is received in the receiving cavity. The contacting side is provided with a plurality of conductive contact pads adapted to connect electrically and respectively with contact members on the contact mounting side of the semiconductor device. The base board further has a plurality of contact terminals that extend outwardly through the retaining seat and that are connected electrically to the contact pads. The press unit is mounted on the retaining seat and is operable so as to press the semiconductor device toward the base board to ensure electrical connection between the semiconductor device and the base board.
