Abstract
A socket, for holding a semiconductor package, comprises a housing receiving a plurality of contacts and defining a space, a plurality of actuators assembled to the housing around the space, a lid movably assembled to the housing, a plurality of push fingers and a plurality of springs urging the push fingers. When the lid moves downwardly, the actuators are actuated to open the space and let the semiconductor package locate in the space, synchronously, the push fingers are forced by the lid to slide away from the space; When the lid moves upwardly, the actuator rotates to close the space and press the semiconductor package, and then the push fingers move back toward the space to position the semiconductor package by restore forces of the springs.
