Testing socket and testing apparatus

Abstract

A testing socket including a circuit board having a by-pass circuit and testing pins is provided. The circuit board includes a core dielectric layer, a power plane, and a ground plane. The core dielectric layer has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The power plane is located on the first surface of the core dielectric layer, and the power plane is electrically connected to the by-pass circuit. The ground plane is located on the second surface of the core dielectric layer. The testing pins penetrates the circuit board, wherein two ends of each the testing pins are protruding out of the circuit board, a first group of the testing pins are electrically connected to the power plane, and a second group of the testing pins are electrically isolated from the power plane.
