Abstract: The load force bolster assembly includes a metallic stiffener. A carrier associated with a CPU (Central Processing Unit) is located upon the load force bolster assembly and positioned upon the electrical connector. A heat sink is located upon both the carrier and the load force bolster assembly wherein a torsioned wire of the bolster assembly provides a downward force upon an up-and-down movable stud which is secured to a screw of the heat sink so as to downwardly push the heat sink, thus enhancing the normal forces among the heat sink, the CPU and the contacts of the electrical connector. To efficiently hold the torsioned wire in position around a bottom corner of the stiffener, a retention groove is formed around the top portion of the restricting pole, and a pressing ring is downwardly snapped into the retention groove so as to restrain the torsioned wire in position.

The base plate has a number of contacts with mating portions extending upward beyond a top surface of base plate. The top housing has a plurality of through holes corresponding to the contacts and receives the mating portions. The top housing defines a pair of channels to allow the electronic package moving relative to the top housing in a horizontal direction, and then the top housing with the electronic package move relative to the base plate in a vertical direction such that the mating portions protrude from a top surface of the top housing and contact with the electronic package.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulative housing having a plurality of passageways and a number of contacts restricted in the insulative housing. Each contact includes an upper contact half sliding in the passageways and a lower contact half supporting the upper contact half. The upper contact half has three curve sections and the lower contact half has two curve sections. When a force is applied to the upper contact half, the upper and lower contact halves are wiping each other and both are deflectable in vertical and transverse directions.

Abstract: An electrical connector for electrically connecting a central processing unit (CPU) comprises an insulating housing having a plurality of terminals received therein and a pick-up cap removably assembled to the insulating housing for carrying and placing the CPU onto the insulating housing. The insulating housing has a plurality of receiving slots sunk from top surfaces of two sidewalls thereof and a plurality of wedge-shaped grooves disposed between the receiving slots on one same sidewall. The pick-up cap defines a plurality of hooks extending therefrom for buckling to the insulating housing. The pick-up cap also defines a plurality of latches corresponding to the receiving slots and a plurality of releasing arms corresponding to the grooves. The latches received in the receiving slots can clasp the CPU to retain the CPU on the pick-up cap and be released the CPU when the releasing arms are pulled outwardly.
