Patent ID: 7874863

Claim:
A test and burn-in socket for integrated circuits (ICs), comprising: a socket body, comprising: a plurality of holes through which a plurality of lower terminals of pogo contacts pass, the holes formed to prevent contact bodies from being dislodged from predetermined positions; a plurality of positioning pins to secure the socket body to a predetermined position on a printed circuit board (PCB); and a plurality of bolt insert holes used to fasten the socket body to the PCB using bolts; a contact guide having a plurality of holes through which upper terminals of the pogo contacts pass, the holes formed to prevent the contact bodies from being dislodged from predetermined positions; an IC guide provided above the contact guide to guide an IC, and comprising: a plurality of moving holes formed in a seating surface on which the IC is seated, and supporting the upper terminals of the pogo contacts such that the upper terminals are vertically movable; a plurality of springs elastically supported between the IC guide and the contact guide; a cover elastically biased toward the socket body by a plurality of cover springs, moving vertically from the socket body to a maximum moving distance, and comprising: a plurality of supports each having a shaft hole, with a latch moving shaft passing through the shaft hole; a latch pressing the IC using an IC press part, and comprising: a rotary hole used to fasten the latch to the socket body via a latch rotary shaft; a spring support hole; and a latch cam moving while contacting the latch moving shaft, when the latch moving shaft mounted on the cover moves vertically; a latch torsion spring biased in a direction opening the latch; and a plurality of pogo contacts each comprising: a contact body, a lower terminal, and an upper terminal that are provided in a straight-line shape; and a spring provided in the contact.
