Abstract: An electrical connector for testing an electronic package, includes an insulative housing, an insulative sliding plate mounted upon the housing and moveable horizontally along a transverse direction, and a cover up-and-down movable relative to the housing in a vertical direction. The cover forms the actuating parts to contact the rollers of the sliding plate when the cover is downwardly pressed so as to not only urge the sliding plate to move horizontally in the transverse direction but also smoothly move downwardly to a lower position where the electronic package may be loaded upon the sliding plate in a zero insertion force condition with regard to the contacts.

Abstract: An electrical connector for electrically connecting a central processing unit (CPU) to a printed circuit board (PCB) includes a base having a first opening and a plurality of passageways with a plurality of contacts therein. A base shield is assembled on the first opening of the base. A cover is mounted upon the base and has a second opening corresponding to the first opening of the base and a plurality of through holes corresponding to the passageways. A cover shield is assembled on the second opening of the cover for contacting with the CPU and the base shield. An actuator driving the cover with the cover shield slides along the base with the base shield in a front-to-back direction.

Abstract: An electrical device for electrically connection an electronic component, comprises a substrate, and a plurality of contact units mounted on the substrate. The contact units each comprises a lower contact positioned on the substrate and an upper contact coupled to the lower contact. The upper contact is floatably received in a receiving space defined by the lower contact and upward and downward movement of the upper contact relative to the lower contact are limited by the lower contact.

Abstract: A socket connector which includes a socket body having a plurality of contacts received therein, and a retention plate pivotally connected to a rear end of the socket body. The socket body has a substantially rectangular structure defining a rear wall, a front wall, and a pair of opposite sidewalls. Each sidewall is formed with a latching block and a pivot adjacent each other. The retention plate has a pair of latching arms in correspondence to the latching blocks and the pivots. The latching arm includes a latching section engageable with the lathing block, a lever section engageable with the pivot, and a handle at a free end thereof.

Abstract: A socket connector (100) for an electronic package includes an insulative housing (1) having a pair of keys (16) formed at a forward end (12) thereof, a plurality of terminals (3) received in the insulative housing (1) and a retention plate (2) rotatably coupled to the insulative housing (1) at a rearward end (11) thereof. The retention plate (2) has a pair of latches (22) formed at a pair of corners of the retention plate (2). Each latch (22) includes a locking portion (221) extending along the forward end to lock to the key (16) and a pressing portion (222) bent from the locking portion (221).

Abstract: An IC socket includes a driving member, a socket body mounted below the driving member and a latch member assembled to the base. The driving member is operated between an upper position and a lower position, and drives the latch member to shift between a closed position and an opened position. The base is assembled with a detachable latch hinge, to which the latch member is pivotally attached. The latch hinge can be easily replaced with another proper one according to a thickness of the IC package to the received in the IC socket.

Abstract: An electrical connector for connecting two electronic devices includes a first housing having a plurality of first through holes, a second housing mounted under the first housing and having a plurality of second through holes respectively aligning with the first through holes. An inner wall of each second through hole is plated to have a conductive layer thereon. A contacting member is attached to the conductive layer and disposed beyond a bottom surface of the second housing for engaging with one electronic device. A plurality of contacts each includes a contacting portion disposed in the first through hole for engaging the other electronic device and an engaging section disposed in the second through hole and electrically contacted with the conductive layer.
