Abstract
A socket having contacts mounted on an electrically insulating body for detachably connecting terminal pins of an integrated circuit unit into a test circuit during testing of the integrated circuit unit has circuit components such as resistors incorporated on a base board accommodated at the bottom of the insulating body, the resistors being connected to the respective contacts and having terminal pins extending therefrom to be connected into the test circuit, thereby to provide an external resistance for each integrated circuit pin during testing in a compact and convenient manner to permit high unit density during testing.
