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 substantially rectangular socket connector for connecting a CPU to a mother board, comprises a base and cover mounted on the base and movable relative thereto between open and closed positions along a diagonal direction of the connector. The cover defines a number slots extending in a direction parallel to the diagonal direction. The base forms a number of teeth slidably received in the slots. A number of contacts are fixedly received in contact passages defined in the base for engaging with/disengaging from pins of the CPU inserted into the connector in response to a movement of the connector between the closed and open positions. The cover further forms at least a ridge in a corresponding slot to divide the corresponding slot into two recessed regions. The tooth extending into the corresponding slot is received in either of the two recessed regions when the connector is at either of the open and closed positions whereby the connector can be more securely located at these two positions.

摘要： An LGA type IC assembly is mounted on a PCB by means of a fastening means which sandwiches the LGA assembly and the PCB between two plates. Conductive contacts received in passageways defined through a socket of the assembly each have two engagement portions projecting beyond the outer surfaces of the socket to contact corresponding flat contact pads formed on an IC package and the PCB, a beveled edge on an upper portion of a main body thereof, and a C-shaped resilient beam extending from the main body and forming a slanted portion integrally formed with the upper engagement portion. The IC package delivers a normal force to each contact causing the upper engagement portion thereof to slide across a surface of a corresponding contact pad of the IC package thereby removing oxidation therefrom, while the slanted portion contacts the beveled edge thereby shortening the signal transmission path through each contact. A retaining means formed on the contact secures the contact within the passageway and allows for slight vertical movement thereof, thereby preventing signal loss due to warpage of the PCB.

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 scissors-like handle tool manipulates a ZIF socket having a cover slidably engaged with a bottom, between a loosened status and a tightened status. The handle tool comprises a first lever arm pivotably connected to a second lever arm. The handle tool is operated by encountering two lower ends of the first and second lever arms with two movable sides of the socket via a pivot operation of the handle tool thereby moving the cover of the ZIF socket along the bottom.

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.
