Abstract: A socket includes a housing and a plurality of terminals received in the housing. Each terminal includes a securing portion inserted in the housing, a mating portion and a spring portion connected between the securing portion and the mating portion. When the socket interconnects with first and second electronic devices, the spring portion is resiliently deformed to provide resilient force to the mating portion and the mating portion therefore engages with the second electronic device with minimized wiping relative to the second electronic device.

Abstract: An electrical connector for connecting an electronic package (1) with a circuit substrate. A preferred embodiment of the electrical connector is a land grid array connector, which includes a parallelepiped-shaped insulative housing (2) and a plurality of retention arms (3). The housing includes four raised sides (21), and the retention arms are located in two contiguous raised sides. The retention arms include engaging portions (32) for resiliently abutting side walls of the electronic package. A material of the retention arms is different from a material of the housing. In the preferred embodiment, the material of the retention arms is metal. Thus the retention arms have superior resiliency, especially compared to the material of the housing.

Abstract: A power interconnection system is provided including a printed circuit board (10), a voltage regulator package (30), and an electrical connection socket (20) adapted for receiving a chip package (40) therein. The electrical socket and the voltage regulator package are mounted and electrically coupled to opposite surfaces of the printed circuit board. Thus, the voltage regulator package and the chip package are held in a substantially opposed relationship relative to the printed circuit board after the chip package is mounted onto the socket. Therefore, with such configuration, a lower impedance connection is achieved between the chip package and the voltage regulator package in comparison with the conventional configuration.

Abstract: An LGA socket (1) for electrically connecting an LGA package (3) to a PCB (4) includes a low-profile insulative housing (10) defining a plurality of passageways (13) that receive a plurality of terminals (20) therein. A pair of slots (14) is defined in opposite sides of the housing, each slot accommodating a flexible supporting member (15). Each supporting member includes a base portion (16) connecting with the housing, a pair of cantilever arms (17) extending from the base portion, and a deflectable supporting block (18) formed at a free end of each arm. Each supporting block has a first supporting portion (181) protruding beyond a top surface (11) of the housing, and a second supporting portion (182) extending toward a bottom surface (12) of the housing. The supporting block can deflect in the slot relative to the base portion of the housing, and thereby support the socket on the PCB.
