An exemplary socket assembly includes a circuit plate and a socket mounted on the circuit plate for fixing an IC. The socket includes a first fixing member and a second fixing member. The first fixing member includes installed portions, elastic connecting portions, and a first buckling portion, the elastic connecting portions interconnects the electric portions and the first buckling portion. The second fixing member includes electric portions, elastic connecting portions, and a second buckling portion, and the elastic connecting portions interconnect the electric portions and the second buckling portion. Wherein when the IC is attached to the socket, the first buckling portion and the second buckling portion are initially disengaged from each other, pins of the IC is electrically connected with the electric portions, the first buckling portion and the second buckling portion are brought together with the elastic connecting portions elastically deforming, and the first buckling portion and the second buckling portion are locked together and hold the IC in the socket.
