A test socket for testing a packaged semiconductor device. The test socket includes a test substrate, at least one support member, and at least one securing member. Terminals of the test substrate are electrically connectable to a testing device. The terminals may by located within recesses that are configured to receive leads. The shapes of each support member and securing member may be complementary to the respective shapes of the bottom and top surfaces of leads extending from the packaged semiconductor device. Upon placement of a packaged semiconductor device on the test substrate, the leads are aligned with and positioned against their corresponding terminals and the support member. The securing elements are then placed against the leads to bias each lead against its corresponding terminal.
