The chip carrier sockets have covers which are provided with resilient retention arms, the resilient retention arms cooperate with the chip carriers to retain the chip carriers in the cover. However, with various chip carriers, no structure is provided to cooperate with the resilient retention means of the cover. Therefore, an adapter is provided to cooperate with the chip carrier, to insure that the chip carrier is accurately inserted and maintained in the cover of the chip carrier socket. The adapter has projections which extend from the corners of the frame, the projections dimensioned to be received in the retention arms of the cover to insure that the adapter is maintained in position.
