ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit (IC) socket comprising: a box-shaped housing of dielectric material open at the upper side thereof and having a recess for receiving a leadless chip carrier type of IC device; a plurality of contacts for contacting the electrodes of the IC device within the recess, each of the contacts comprising a springy conductive member and being disposed in the bottom of the housing so as to contact the electrodes formed in the bottom surface of the IC device; and two pairs of pressing members arranged at opposite corners for holding the IC device within the recess, each member comprising a springy member and a projection formed at the top end of the springy member for pressing the IC device. The projections on the pressing members are semicircular-shaped to permit easy insertion and removal, and to maintain downward pressure.
