A test socket for testing of semiconductor devices. The socket includes a plurality of electrical contacts mounted within a housing, a cover, and a pressure applicator which serve to prolong test life of the contacts. The pressure applicator is mounted to the cover by use of an elastomeric element which compliantly holds the applicator to the cover. The socket construction, thereby, serves to prevent damage to leads of an integrated circuit device held by the socket.
