Abstract
A socket for testing a BGA package capable of avoiding problems like deformation of external terminals of the BGA package or failing to detect a defective BGA package and a test method using the socket are provided. The socket for testing a BGA package connects solder balls (or solder bumps) as external terminals of the BGA package via a mesh, a pressure conductive rubber (PCR) as a middle connection unit, and a channel connection means of a socket board. A plane board having POGO pins or a printed circuit pattern can be used for the channel connection means.
