A socket for use in testing packaged integrated circuits having leads depending therefrom includes a first member for receiving the integrated package and having a plurality of first holes for receiving leads extending from the package. A second member has a plurality of wires for engaging the leads, each wire being anchored at ends to the second member with an intermediate portion engaging a lead. Each intermediate portion is aligned with a first hole and capable of being flexed out of alignment with the first hole for insertion of an integrated circuit package into the socket. The first member includes a second plurality of holes aligned with the wires of the second member, and an actuator has a plurality of pins arranged to extend into the second plurality of holes for engaging the plurality of wires and flexing the intermediate portions of the wires out of alignment with the first plurality of holes.
