ABSTRACT:
A connector carrier for an electric part comprising a pressure reduction chamber (31b) having an opening portion, a flat first part arranged in such a manner as to allow one surface of the first part (wiring sheet 6) to contact the opening portion of the pressure reduction chamber and a second part (IC4) disposed within the pressure reduction chamber such that when the pressure reduction chamber is reduced in pressure, the first part (6) is urged toward the second part side (4) by a difference in air pressure, thereby allowing contact elements on both of the first and second parts to contact with each other. A pressure increasing chamber (42a) can be provided on a side of the first part opposite the second part so as to urge the first part toward the second part. The pressure increasing chamber and the pressure decreasing chamber can be utilized independently or in combination. Ports are provided to allow for the flow of gas into the pressure increasing chamber, the withdrawal of gas from the pressure reduction chamber and the flow of a gas, such as nitrogen or hydrogen, into the pressure reduction chamber. The connector/carrier is to be loaded into a socket (45) having electrical contacts (52).
