摘要： A socket connector includes a rectangular base plate adapted to be positioned on a circuit board and retaining an electronic device, such as an integrated circuit, thereon for establishing electrical connection between the electronic device and the circuit board by means of contacts retained therein. Bumps are formed on the base plate for engaging with notches defined in the electronic device to precisely positioning the electronic device with respect to the base plate. A retention module includes a frame having four wall segments defining an interior space therebetween for receiving the base plate. A pair of sideways projections is formed on one wall segment with aligned holes defined therein for receiving pivots of a resilient clip thereby making the clip movable between an open position where the base plate is exposed for receiving the electronic device and a closed position where the clip resiliently engages with the electronic device thereby securing the electronic device to the base plate. A pair of sideways projections is formed on an opposite wall segment each having a barb for engaging an opening defined in a corresponding resilient arm of the clip for fixing the clip at the closed position. Each sideways projection forms a bifurcated board lock for being received in a hole defined in the circuit board. A pin is inserted into a bore defined in each sideways projection to expand the board lock thereby securely fixing the socket connector to the circuit board.

摘要： A contact comprises an upper beam and a lower beam both of which are connected by two side plates at two ends thereof. An upper spring arm extends from the upper beam and a lower spring arm extends from the lower beam. The upper spring arm having a contacting section substantially located at a highest position of the contact. The lower spring arm has a soldering tail substantially located at a lowest position of the contact. When the side plates and the soldering tail are fixed in position and the contacting section of the upper spring arm is urged by an external force, the upper beam will be twisted for a predetermined angle to transmit a tension to the contacting section.

摘要： A socket connector includes a fixed base and a movable cover slidably positioned on the base for moving between a closed position and an open position. A control plate is movably retained between the base and the cover and defines first and second holes, each having an arcuate edge and an opposite straight edge. A bore reinforced by a metal collar is defined in the cover for rotatably receiving a screwdriver. The control plate is manually moved between first and second positions corresponding to the closed and open positions of the cover whereby the first and second holes selectively align with the bore. When closing/opening the cover, the screwdriver is inserted into the first/second hole through the bore with an edge thereof engaging with the bore whereby rotating the screwdriver moves the cover toward the closed/open positions.

摘要： A contact comprises a central torsion beam, two side plates integrally connected to two ends of the central torsion beam and each side plate is perpendicular to the torsion beam. Two curved spring arms extend oppositely from a center portion of the torsion beam so that when the side plates are fixed in position and the curved spring arms are exerted opposite forces by two contact pads sandwiching the contact, the torsion beam will be twisted for a predetermined angle to transmit reactive forces to the curved spring arms to abut against the contact pads.

摘要： A contact comprises a plate, a positioning section connected to the plate via a first flexible neck and adapted to be mounted by an external solder ball, a contacting section located above and connected to the positioning section via a second flexible neck. The first flexible neck is deformable to absorb a tension originated from the plate. The second flexible neck is deformable to force the contacting section to abut against an external electrical device when the external electrical device urges the contacting section to electrically connect to the solder ball via the contact.

摘要： A zero insertion force socket for connecting a CPU to a printed circuit board consists of a dielectric base receiving a number of contacts therein, and a cover movably mounted on the base between a closed position and an open position. At the open position, pins of the CPU extending through the cover into the base are each received in a space defined within an arc section of the corresponding contact. At the closed position, each pin is moved to be clamped between fixed and movable contacting sections of the corresponding contact. The movable contacting section connects with the fixed contacting section via the arc section providing the clamping force. Each fixed contacting section connects with a tail portion located therebelow for being soldered to the printed circuit board.
