ABSTRACT:
An IC socket for mounting an IC package on a printed wiring board includes a socket body and pin terminals. The socket body has a mount portion for the IC package. The mount portion has a flat bottom wall. The pin terminals are arranged in the bottom wall at predetermined intervals lengthwise and widthwise. Each pin terminal has a contact portion, on the upper surface of the mount portion, which is brought into contact with a corresponding terminal of the IC package mounted on the mount portion, and a connecting portion, on the lower surface of the mount portion, which is connected to a corresponding pattern on the printed wiring board. A press member having elasticity which makes the press member press an upper surface of the IC package mounted on the socket body to press each terminal of the IC package against the contact portion of a corresponding pin terminal of the socket body is arranged on the socket body. A method of checking whether the connecting portion of each pin terminal is properly connected to a corresponding pattern on a printed wiring board by soldering is also disclosed.
