Method for fabricating test socket

A method of fabricating a test socket that supports a probe stretchable in a longitudinal direction, the method comprising:

• forming a first barrel accommodating hole for accommodating a part of the probe in a first base member made of a conductive material, and forming a first coupling block by joining the first base member and a first insulating member made of an insulating material;
• forming a second barrel accommodating hole for accommodating the rest of the probe in a second base member made of the conductive material, and forming a second coupling block by joining the second base member and a second insulating member made of the insulating material;
• forming a first support hole for supporting one end portion of the probe in the first insulating member through the first barrel accommodating hole;
• forming a second support hole for supporting the other end portion of the probe in the second insulating member through the second barrel accommodating hole;
• inserting one end of the probe into the first barrel accommodating hole to be supported on the first support hole, and inserting the other end of the probe into the second barrel accommodating hole to be supported on the second support hole;
• and
• joining the first coupling block and the second coupling block,
• wherein the forming the first barrel accommodating hole and the first support hole is conducted in a state in which the first insulating member and the first base member are combined, and
• wherein the forming the second barrel accommodating hole and the second support hole is conducted in a state in which the second insulating member and the second base member are combined.
