Patent ID: 8051554

Claim:
An IC socket in which an electronic component is attached to a predetermined position of the IC socket, in combination with an electronic component attaching tool, the electronic component attaching tool adapted to attach the electronic component to a predetermined position of an attachment object and comprising: a main body having an opening forming part; a first structure part formed on the main body; a second structure part formed on an inner wall of the opening forming part of the main body in accordance with an external shape of the electronic component; the IC socket comprising: a fixed part including a contact pin which is connected to a terminal of the electronic component when a position of the electronic component is aligned to the predetermined position of the IC socket using the electronic component attaching tool, the contact pin including a pair of end portions on an upper surface of the fixed part; a movable part that is movable to the fixed part when the movable part is pushed down to apply a force to the contact pin of the fixed part to separate the pair of end portions of the contact pin from each other; and a standard part that is formed on the movable part and engages with the first structure part of the electronic component attaching tool to align a position of the electronic component attaching tool to the standard part when the position of the electronic component is aligned to the predetermined position of the IC socket using the electronic attaching tool, the standard part having a shape which does not substantially depend on the external shape of the electronic component, wherein the inner wall of the electronic component attaching tool includes an inclination surface which is formed so that an inner diameter increases as a position in the inclination surface is close to the second structure part, and guiding the electronic component to the predetermined position of the attachment object.
