Abstract
A burn-in socket adapted for use with plastic quad flat pack packages having gullwing leads is disclosed. The socket comprises an insulative housing base and a reciprocal cap frame located on top of the insulative housing. A plurality of resilient contact terminals are positioned along the sides of the insulative housing around the periphery of a cavity for receiving the PQFP package. Each contact terminal is inwardly deflectable upon movement of the cap so that gullwing leads of the PQFP package will be received between the contact terminal and an inwardly facing ledge. The socket is suitable for use with automatic loading equipment.
