PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To cancel imperfect restoring displacement of elastic contact pieces in restoring a moving plate with the elastic contact pieces of contacts and thereby securely press and abut contacts on the external contacts of an IC package in the case that a guiding part to guide the loading of the IC package is integrally formed with a moving plate and the moving plate is laterally moved to open and close the contacts. SOLUTION: In an IC socket wherein a contact releasing state from external contacts 7 of an IC by displacing elastic contact pieces 4, 4' of contacts 3 formed in a socket body 1 in one direction against elasticity by means of the one-directional lateral movement of a moving plate 2, and a contact state is formed by laterally moving the moving plate 2 in the other direction by the displacement of the elastic contact pieces 4, 4' by their restoring force, and abutting the elastic contact pieces 4, 4' on the external contacts 7, a guiding member 8 to regulate the side surface of an IC package 6 mounted on the upper surface of the moving plate 2 to define its mounting position is formed and the guiding member 8 is so formed as to be laterally movably in the displacement direction of the elastic contact pieces 4, 4' with respect to the moving plate 2.
