Abstract: A socket for carrying an integrated circuit (IC) package. The socket, which is particularly useful for burn-in testing, includes a base 18 which houses a plurality of conductive contacts 46 and a movable top 108 which is shiftably connected to the base. A table 32 is connected to the base 18 and supports the IC package after insertion. The socket also includes a contact actuation plate 72 which is operably connected to the movable top 108 and is shiftable with the top. Latches 96 are shiftably connected to the base 18 and shift with the top 108 between latched and unlatched positions to secure the IC atop the table during testing. The actuator plate 72 may also include retractable location pins 82 to insure proper IC alignment in the socket.

Abstract: An adjustable pliers-like tool, for the extraction of hollow wall toggle bolt fasteners, having substantially rectangular antipodal flat jaw plates, the lower jaw having a forked notch therein. Each jaw is integrated with and positioned by a pair of movable, flat linearly extending handles having means to provide adjustability to vary the range of jaw movement. The handle of the lower forked jaw extends perpendicularly from the upper surface thereof and forms an obtuse angle with respect to the jaw plate. The upper jaw handle extends substantially parallel beyond the upper surface of the upper jaw plate and then angles acutely upwards with respect to the upper jaw plate, both handles being substantially parallel in assembled form. The tool is designed to straighten out retracted toggle bolt arms to allow removal of the toggle bolt assembly.
