IC SOCKET, CLIP AND TEST METHOD EMPLOYING THEM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an IC socket of simple structure by providing a contact part being bent into U-shaped and a socket body having an opening being boded with the contact part. SOLUTION: The IC socket 1 comprises a socket lead 2 and a socket body 3. The socket lead 2 is shaped into U-shape so that it can contact with an IC lead and the wiring pad on a test board. It is made of a copper alloy in order to conduct the IC lead and the wiring pad on a test board electrically. The socket lead 2 is bonded to a socket body 3 and the socket bodies 3 having a plurality of socket leads 2 are prepared for setting the pitch between the socket leads 2 at 0.8 mm, 0.65 mm or 0.5 mm. The socket body 3 is used while being cut depending on the number of leads of an IC package and the socket body 3 is made of resin, or the like. Furthermore, the socket body 3 is provided with an opening part 3a for grasping the hook part of a clip.
