Abstract
A test socket for a leadless chip carrier is disclosed in which a clamp is pivotally mounted to a base member, such that the carrier can be inserted into a recess in the base member and the clamp pivoted closed to lock the carrier in place. The clamp includes a set of arms which engage corresponding brackets on the base to progressively secure the carrier and chip as the clamp is rotated either clockwise or counterclockwise. The clamp makes direct contact with the chip to assure a good electrical connection with underlying electrical contact springs.
