Abstract
A socket according to the present invention comprises a base member for holding a plurality of contacts, a cover member and a latch mechanism for pressing a semiconductor package. A latch member has a pressing portion, a link member connected to the cover member and pressing portion of the latch member, a lever member rotatably fixed to the base member and connected with the cover member at a first end and with a narrow portion of the cover member at a second end. The link member and the lever member cause the pressing portion of the latch member to move to an evacuated position when the cover member moves in a direction to be close to the base member, while the link member and the lever member cause the pressing portion of the latch member to move to a position where an electronic device can be pressed.
