Abstract: An electrical connector assembly mounted on a printed circuit board (PCB) includes an insulating housing. The insulating housing includes a base with opposite front and rear end regions and a plurality of side walls upwardly extending from the base. The base cooperates with the side walls to commonly define a first receiving room. A notch defined in the front region of the base forms a second receiving room under the first receiving room. Said second receiving room is smaller than the first receiving room in both the front-to-back direction and a transverse direction perpendicular to said front-to-back direction. No portions of said contacts are located in the second receiving room so as to allow an optoelectronic module including a first portion and a second portion to be snugly received in the first receiving room and the second receiving room respectively, the second portion is attached to the first portion and supported on a top surface of the PCB.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulating housing. The insulating housing includes a base having a top surface, a bottom surface opposite to the top surface and a plurality of sidewalls having a top surface high than the top surface of the base. The top surface of the base and the sidewalls commonly form a first receiving room. The base defines a second receiving room of a notch shape running through the top and bottom surface of the base and a first sidewall of said sidewalls. A row of passageways is located in the base and far away from the first sidewall. The first sidewall adjacent to the second receiving room is defined as two opposite stopping walls.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes an insulating housing defining a pair of pivotal grooves on two opposite sides of a front end thereof and a L-shaped recess at each side thereof. A plurality of contacts are arranged in the housing. A metal shell defines a pair of pivotal posts sliding assembled in the pivotal grooves, the metal shell rotating downward to cover on the insulating housing. The shell defines a locking element extending to the front end of the housing and inserted in the L-shaped recess to lock the metal shell with the insulating housing.

Abstract: An IC socket (1) for receiving an IC package having a plurality of pins extending downwardly includes a base (2), a plurality of terminals (7) received in the base, a cover (5) mounted upon the base (2), and a cam (6). The cover (5) includes a carrying section (50) for carrying the IC package and a cam-receiving section (51). The carrying section (50) forms a plurality of through holes (500) for insertion of the pins of the IC package. The cam (6) is disposed at the cam-receiving section (51) for actuating the cover (5) to move with respect to the base (2) in a first direction A. The cam (6) is offset from a central line CL of the carrying section (50) which extends along the first direction A.

Abstract: A socket assembly, comprising a socket, a package received in the socket, a pressing member arranged upon the package and downwardly pressing the package and two heat pipes attached to the pressing member. The pressing member is formed with four arch grooves along a peripheral thereof, and the arch grooves allow linking members to pass therethrough and rotatablely retain the pressing member on a printed circuit board. Therefore, the pressing member can rotate in a certain range, by sliding the arch groove with respect to the linking member, to provide a flexible arrangement for heat pipes.

Abstract: A zero insertion force (ZIF) socket assembly comprises a ZIF socket and a pick-up cap. The ZIF socket includes a base, a cover, and a cam assembled to the base and rotated for driving the cover to move relative to the base between an opened position and a closed position. The pick-up cap is mounted to the ZIF socket and has a lock-up abutting against the cam for preventing the cam from rotating.

Abstract: An electrical connector for electrically connecting a pin leg of a CPU with a trace of a PCB includes an insulative housing (3) and a contact (1). The contact includes a base (10) and a pair of arm sections (20) oppositely extending from lateral sides of the base for engagement with the pin leg. The base has a body section (12) for being secured in the insulative housing and a soldering section (14) for being soldered onto the PCB. Each arm section forms a heave (24) to interfere with the insulative housing because of deformation of the arm sections.
