A carrier socket for leadless chip integrated circuit devices. A flat leadless substrate with a circuit chip thereon is positioned within a housing having spring-loaded contacts mounted therein, each such contact adapted to engage a contact pad on the substrate. A resilient cover engages the housing and holds the substrate against the contacts in a positive manner. The contacts are formed to facilitate electrical connection between the integrated circuit chip and a circuit board. The contacts may be secured to the board by various means such as soldering or planar welding. |
