ABSTRACT:
An IC socket comprises socket board having a plurality of contacts for contacting corresponding lead terminals of an IC package, and a movable plate closed with respect to an upper surface of the socket board. The contacts are brought into contact with the corresponding lead terminals when the movable plate is laterally moved in one direction along the upper surface of the socket board, and the contacts are moved out of contact with the corresponding lead terminals when the movable plate is laterally moved in the other direction. The IC socket further comprises at least one block integrally formed on each of two opposite side edges of one of the movable plate and the socket board, which side edges are parallel with the lateral movement direction of the movable plate relative to the socket board. On each of the two opposite side edges, a pin is inserted into the at least one block so as to be fixed to and movable with the at least one block. At least one pin restricting piece is integrally formed on each of the opposite side edges of the other of the movable plate and the socket board, which side edges are parallel with the lateral movement direction of the movable plate relative to the socket board. The pin restricting pieces are respectively slidingly abutted against surfaces of the pins.
