Claim Text:
1. A test socket including an electrode supporting portion, which is disposed between a terminal of a subject device and a pad of an inspection device to electrically connect the terminal and the pad, the test socket comprising: an elastic conductive sheet including a conductive portion, in which a plurality of conductive particles are arranged in an insulating material so that conductivity is exhibited in a thickness direction, at each position of the subject device corresponding to the terminal, and an insulating supporting portion that supports and insulates the conductive portion at a same time; a sheet type connector including an electrode portion that is disposed on the conductive portion and is formed of a metal, and a sheet member that supports the electrode portion, wherein the sheet member comprises a cut portion formed by cutting at least a portion of the sheet member between adjacent electrode portions; and the electrode supporting portion including an upper supporting portion that integrally attached to an upper edge of the electrode portion to support the electrode portion and exposes an upper center portion of the electrode portion to be open and the electrode supporting portion including a connection supporting portion that connects the upper supporting portion and the insulating supporting portion; and wherein the upper supporting portion is disposed on upper side of the electrode portion and upper side of the sheet member.
