The device-receiving portion has a top side formed with a device-receiving recess. The top side of the device-receiving portion is further formed with a partition unit in the device-receiving recess for dividing the device-receiving recess into a plurality of cavities adapted for receiving the ball grid array devices respectively therein. The device-receiving portion further has a bottom side formed with a plurality of openings. Each of the openings is aligned with a corresponding one of the cavities and is adapted to receive an array of ball contacts formed on a bottom side of the ball grid array device that is disposed in the corresponding one of the cavities therein. The openings are grouped into a set of first openings remote from the peripheral portion and a set of second openings surrounding the first openings and adjacent to the peripheral portion. Guard strips are formed on the bottom side of the device-receiving portion and are disposed solely and respectively in the second openings.
