A socket connector for electrically connecting a lead of a semiconductor device under test (DUT) with a tester includes a container having a chamber, a conductive end or plug that seals the chamber at one end, and a conductive membrane that seals the chamber at another end. A liquid conductive material fills the chamber. The conductive plug is arranged to be in electrical contact with the tester. The lead of the semiconductor DUT is in electrical contact with the conductive membrane and thus with the tester via the conductive membrane, the liquid conductive material and the conductive plug.
