Abstract
A testing apparatus for testing an integrated circuit package having a plurality of electrical terminals includes a base, a socket, a plurality of conductive pins and a plurality of conductive pillars. The base includes a plurality of electrical contacts. The socket is disposed on the base and includes a bended portion bended away from the base and a plurality of through holes distributed in the socket. The conductive pins are disposed in the through holes respectively and electrically connected to the electrical contacts, wherein each of the conductive pins protrudes from an upper surface of the socket for forming temporary electrical connections with one of the electrical terminals. The conductive pillars are disposed on the base and connected to the bended portion, wherein each of the conductive pillars electrically connects one of the conductive pins and one of the electrical contacts.
