1. A rubber socket for connecting a device to be tested to a tester for generating a test signal to perform an electrical test on the device to be tested, wherein the tester comprises a tester pad including electrode pads each electrically connected to a plurality of terminals of the device to be tested, and a pair of communication pads at adjacent positions,
wherein the rubber socket comprises:
a conductive sheet comprising a conductive part formed in a form in which a plurality of conductive particles are included in an elastic insulating material and comprising an electrode conductive part disposed at a position corresponding to the electrode pad and a pair of communication conductive parts disposed at a position corresponding to the communication pad, and an insulating part configured to insulate adjacent conductive parts while supporting the conductive part;
a connection sheet made of an insulating material detachably coupled to an upper surface side of the conductive sheet, having connection holes formed at each position corresponding to the conductive part, and in which a connection conductive part is disposed in the connection hole corresponding to the electrode conductive part, and in which a pair of connectors are disposed in the connection hole corresponding to the communication conductive part;
a component disposed at an upper surface of the pair of connectors of the connection sheet; and
a guide sheet made of an insulating material attached to an upper surface side of the connection sheet and having guide holes formed at each position corresponding to the connection conductive part and the component,
wherein characteristics of the tester are tested through the component.
