Abstract
A test socket for integrated circuits includes a base and a platform supported above the base upon which may be placed an integrated circuit. The platform is free to tilt in any direction relative to the base to prevent damage to the integrated circuit by unbalanced forces caused by closing of a cover which retains the integrated circuit in contact with the platform.
