ABSTRACT:
A socket for mounting an integrated circuit chip to electrically connect chip leads in a test circuit during burn-in testing of the chip has rotably-mounted chip holders and has a plurality of resilient contacts arranged to be movable with forward motion of a reciprocating member to displace the holders and contacts against a bias force to receive the chip in the socket. The holders and contacts are movable with return motion of the reciprocating member to return to their original positions in response to the noted bias to detachably retain the chip in the socket and resiliently engage the contacts with respective chip leads with selected force. A rotably movable subordinate lever element engages the reciprocating member and the contacts to facilitate moving of the contacts as a group between their original and displaced positions in response to movement of the reciprocating member.
