Abstract
An integrated circuit (IC) socket assembly () includes an IC socket () mounted on a burn-in board () and receiving an IC () therein, a supporting member () assembled on the burn-in board and covering the IC socket, a heat sink () assembled on the supporting member, and an actuation member () assembled on the supporting member. The heat sink includes a jacket () attached on the IC. The jacket defines a U-shaped channel for containing cooling liquid therein. The actuation member is capable of being operated from an open position to a closed position, in which the jacket abuts against a top surface of the IC and the IC is reliably electrically connected with the burn-in board. During burning in, the jacket can quickly efficiently dissipate heat from the IC and associated components the protect the IC from instability and damage.
