Abstract: A socket includes a pin block on which a plurality of contact probes are installed, a pin plate configured to hold the plurality of contact probes together with the pin block, and an engagement portion configured to engage the pin block and the pin plate with each other. The engagement portion is configured to detachably engage the pin block and the pin plate with each other.

Abstract: A production method of an exhaust gas purification device includes the steps of supplying a solution containing a catalyst metal from a shower nozzle to an upper part of a honeycomb substrate, coating the honeycomb substrate with the solution, and firing the honeycomb substrate coated with the solution, wherein the shower nozzle has a plurality of discharge openings for discharging the solution and a guard which surrounds the plurality of discharge openings.

Abstract: An exhaust gas purification device includes: a wall-flow-structured base material having input-side cells, output-side cells, and a porous partition wall; and a catalyst layer formed inside the partition wall contacting the input-side cells or the output-side cells. The catalyst layer is formed in a region extending from the surface of the partition wall and covering at least 90% of the thickness of the partition wall, and is held by the surfaces of the inside pores of the partition wall in the region. Further, the average filling ratios A, B, and C of the catalyst layer held by pores in respective pore size ranges satisfy a specific relationship.
