Abstract
Provided is a socket which protects an upper surface of a semiconductor device from being scratched due to contact, by using a latch plate. A socket () includes a base member (), a cover member () that reciprocates in a direction to be close to or separated from the base member (), a plurality of contacts (), an adaptor () that moves in a direction to be close to or separated from the base member and provides a surface for placing a semiconductor package, a latch member () that rotationally shifts with reciprocation of the cover member (), and a latch plate () connected to the latch member (). The latch plate () prevents the leading edge of the latch member () from being directly brought into contact with a Ball Grid Array (BGA), and presses down the BGA placed on the adaptor () in the vertical direction.
