ABSTRACT:
An IC socket has an IC supporting means which can be moved between an upper and a lower positions with an IC mounted on it, a first spring means for energizing the IC supporting means so that the IC supporting means is pushed up to the upper position, a contact for contacting with a lead of the IC when the IC supporting means is moved to the lower position against the force of the first spring means, an IC vertical movement operating means which can be moved between the upper and lower positions and adapted to push down the IC supporting means against the first spring means, a second spring means for energizing the IC vertical movement operating means so as to push up the same to the upper position, and a lock means for retaining the IC supporting means to the lower position against the force of the first spring means by the vertical movement operation of the IC vertical movement operating means against the force of the second spring means or in accordance with the force of the second spring so that the IC is brought into contact with the contact. The retaining of the IC supporting means is released by the second vertical movement operation of the IC vertical movement operating means to allow the IC supporting means to be moved to the upper position in accordance with the force of the first spring means.
