Abstract
An IC carrier includes a carrier base, a carrier cover and a wiring sheet, through which an IC and a socket contact each other, interposed between the carrier cover and the wiring sheet. The IC is retained by the carrier base such that the IC and the wiring sheet face each other. The IC carrier further includes a plurality of connecting pins projecting from an opposing surface of one of the carrier base and the carrier cover. The connecting pins are inserted into through-holes formed in the wiring sheet and then press fitted into connecting holes formed in the other of the carrier base and the cover, so that an area in the vicinity of a peripheral edge of the wiring sheet is sandwiched between the carrier base and the carrier cover.
