A socket for an electrical part, such as an IC test socket, is provided with one or more pressing members 15 to press the electrical part in a horizontal position, and an operation member 14. The pressing members have latches 16 which lock the pressing members in the horizontal position, by having an engaging pawl 31b to be engaged with the socket body, and are released by a portion 14g of the operating member pressing portion 31a when it moves down. Optionally, pressing the operation member down rotates the pressing members to a vertical, out of the way, position. by pressing on one portion of them, and when the operation member is released, it is pushed up by springs 22 and rotates the pressing members to a horizontal position, where they push on the electrical part, by pressing on another portion. There may also be a support member (27, Fig 20) moved by link arms (23, Fig 20). |
