  • Socket for connecting an integrated circuit to a printed wiring board
    Patent number: 5890914
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electrical socket for connecting a generally planar integrated circuit (IC) having a plurality of peripheral laterally extending contacts to a printed wiring board (PWB) comprising an insulative element interposed between the processing unit and the PWB and having means for retaining the IC; a plurality of latching means positioned in spaced peripheral relation adjacent the base element; a cover element superimposed over the base element and comprising an insulative housing being peripherally engageable by said latching means and a resilient control member positioned in concentric relation with said housing and having a plurality of legs each extending radially from said central section toward one of the latching means; and a plurality of contact means positioned in spaced peripheral relation adjacent the base element to abut the contacts on the processing unit and the PWB.
