Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative base, an insulative cover attached upon the base and moveable along a front-to-back direction, and an operation lever sandwiched between the base and the cover for moving the cover relative to the base in the front-to-back direction. The lever includes an actuating bar sandwiched between the upper head and the lower head, and an operation bar exposed outside of the base and the cover. The operation bar is rotatable between a horizontal position and a vertical position. The lower head includes a stopper around a front end of the operation bar with a locking section engaged with the operation bar wherein said locking section extends toward the operation bar either inwardly along the transverse direction or in the front-to-back direction.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a pair of housing units side by side arranged with each other and equipped with the corresponding contacts, respectively. A pair of protection caps are assembled to the corresponding housing units horizontally in opposite directions, respectively. A linking part is mounted upon the pair of caps with a rigid suction region thereof in a symmetrical manner. The linking part is downwardly mounted upon the pair of caps with corresponding standoffs to space the main part of the linking part from the caps in the vertical direction so as not to block the related heat dissipation.

Abstract: A plug connector includes a front housing, a first and a second terminal module each including an insulator insert molded with terminals. The front housing defines a rear wall, a front mating cavity opening forwards, and a plurality of terminal passageways running through the rear wall in a front and rear direction and the front housing in a vertical direction a first terminal module, The terminals comprising contacting portions received in the corresponding terminal passageways. The shell fitly encloses the front housing and the insulators. The front housing unitarily defines a plurality of protection flanges, each protection flange is located above a front end of each terminal passageway and each contacting section is located inside the protection flange thereby ensuring the contacting sections separating from the shell during the contacting sections are pushed outwards by an insertion of a mating receptacle connector.

Abstract: An electrical socket comprises an insulative housing including a base with a cover moveably assembled thereon. An actuator is arranged between the base and the cover, and has a lever and a cam device to move the cover from a first position to a second position, wherein an interengaging arrangement is arranged between the lever and the housing, and has guiding means for properly positioning the lever and the cover in the second position easily.

Abstract: An electrical connector (1) for attaching an IC package to a circuit member includes a base (3) defining four side walls, a number of terminals receiving in the base, a cover (4) slidably mounted on the base and a lever (5) slidably moving the cover relative to the base. The base defines a plurality of grooves (31) extending from one side wall of the base to any other side wall of the base and one end of the groove is communicated with exterior space to decline the temperature of the terminals.

Abstract: A socket connector (1) for connecting an IC package to a printed circuit board includes a base (10) mounting a plurality of conductive terminals therein. A cover (13) assembled on the base (10) and sliding along a first direction relative to the base defines a pair of sidewalls (132, 133) extending downwardly therefrom. An actuating lever (14) drives the cover (13) sliding on the base (10). The sidewalls (132, 133) of the cover (13) are fitly engaging with corresponding sides (111, 112) of the base (10) except a releasing slot (1110, 1120) defined between part portion of the sidewall and the side.

Abstract: A ZIF socket connector comprises a base defining a plurality of passageway therein and each received therein a contact terminal therein. The base defines a first and second end. A cover is moveably attached to the base in a direction from the first end to the second end of the base, and defines a plurality of guiding holes each aligned with the passageway. An actuating lever with a cam portion is disposed in the first end of the housing, and is interengaged with the cover so as to move the cover on the base along the direction. The cover includes a top surface. A pick up cap is disposed on the top surface of the cover, and includes a first end disposed on the top surface of the cover, and a second end interlocked to a sidewall of the base at the second end. The first end of the pickup cap is released when the cover is moved away from the second end of the base.
