Claim:
1. A test socket interposed between a device to be inspected and an inspection apparatus to electrically connect terminals of the device to be inspected and pads of the inspection apparatus, the test socket comprising: an alignment member having a plurality of through-holes corresponding with the terminals of the device to be inspected and coupled to the inspection apparatus such that the through-holes are located at the pads of the inspection apparatus; an elastic conductive sheet comprising a plurality of conductive parts corresponding with the terminals of the device to be inspected and the through-holes of the alignment member, and a plurality of insulating support parts that support the conductive parts and prevent electricity from passing between adjacent conductive parts, wherein each conductive part includes a plurality of conductive particles and a portion protruding away from the elastic conductive sheet and inserted into a corresponding through-hole of the alignment member; and a guide sheet deposited on the elastic conductive sheet on a side opposite the protrusions of the conductive parts, wherein the guide sheet includes a plurality of guide holes corresponding with the terminals of the device to be inspected and the terminals of the device to be inspected are inserted into the corresponding guide holes of the guide sheet, wherein when the protruding conductive parts are inserted into the through-holes of the alignment member and the terminals of the device to be inspected are inserted into the guide holes of the guide sheet, the elastic conductive sheet is aligned with the alignment member, the guide sheet, and the terminals of the device to be inspected.
