Abstract
Test and burn-in sockets with many mechanical contacts require increased support strength, and with the increase in the number of contacts it is beneficial that the contacts are inserted before assembly, the contacts in the support comb are supported to restrict movement of the contact other than in the path of movement of the IC device, and the registration and movement of the IC device is sufficient to obtain good electrical contact and maintain electrical contact during temperature cycling.
