Abstract: The chip connection device's main feature is a structurally simple and rigid engagement member. The engagement member mainly contains a knob having only a top cylinder for turning and indication, an eccentric base cylinder to cause reliable relative lateral movement of the top and base plates of the chip connection device, and a flange between the top and base cylinders. The flange is sandwiched between a top board and a base board of the engagement member and the engagement member is in turn housed between the extensions from the top and base plates of the chip connection device. A clamping member is further provided to clamp the extensions from the top and base plates vertically together and, therefore, the plates can only be engaged into relative lateral movement.

Abstract: A land grid array integrated circuit (LGA IC) connector uses a pressing rod assembly linked with a cover for opening/closing operation. The LGA IC connector includes a first tooth and a second tooth driven by a first post and a second post of a positioning section to enhance the rotation angle thereof. A sufficient pressure can be provided with smaller operation angle of the pressing rod and cover, thus facilitating operation. A protection board is assembled to the terminal stage and then arranged on a frame. A V-shaped spring element is provided between the protection board and the terminal stage such that the protection board is higher than the terminal to protect the terminal. The terminal can be protected from deformation. In the present invention, the terminal is received in the terminal hole and the annular cone at terminal tail can clamp the solder ball.

The contact will not be deformed when the circuit board is manufactured and conveyed.

Abstract: A CPU connector includes at least one terminal and the terminal includes a first spring section moved along a bevel of a latitude rib of a protection board in order to preload the terminal in a through hole of the protection board. The first spring section pushes upward the bevel of the protection board such that the terminal has uniform action of CPU contact face. The terminal includes arc section to scratch dirt on CPU contact face. When the terminal is soldered to contact of the motherboard, the terminal release pressure to push downward the tin ball. The terminal can be soldered to motherboard without needing high evenness. The terminal board can be directly clamped into a frame and a handle on a cover can be rotated to clamp the terminal board.

Abstract: A conductive member of zero insertion/extraction force integrated circuit socket, including: an insertion section inserted in an inlay hole of the insulating seat body; an electrically connecting section extending from one end of the insertion section; and a clamp section connected with the insertion section for contacting with the pin of the integrated circuit. The clamp section has resilient sections, contact sections and bent guide sections. Ones of the contact sections and the guide sections are connected with the resilient ends of the resilient sections, while the others of both sections transversely extend from the ones of the contact sections and the guide sections. The inlay hole is fully sealed by the insertion section, whereby the soldering tin will not infiltrate into the insertion hole of the seat body. The electrically connecting section is 90 degrees bent to form an angle.

Abstract: A zero insertion/extraction force integrated circuit socket including an insulating socket having multiple pivot arch recesses and an L-shaped driving member having a driving section. The driving section has multiple pivot arch shaft sections which are respectively rotatably engaged in the pivot arch recesses. The integrated circuit socket further includes a slide cover having multiple driven faces. The driving section has multiple driving cams which respectively slidably contact with the driven faces for driving the slide cover to slide between a separation position and a contact position. The pivot arch shaft sections of the driving section and one of the driving cams are spaced from each other without connecting with each other. Therefore, the cross-sectional area of the driving section is smaller, while the strength of the driving section is greater.

Abstract: A zero insertion/extraction force integrated circuit socket including an insulating socket one side of which is formed with a receiving dent. A slide cover is slidably connected with the insulating socket and a corresponding side of which is formed with a U-shaped dent. A driving member having a driving cam is pivotally disposed in the receiving dent and U-shaped dent. The rotational axis of the driving member is normal to the sliding direction of the slide cover and parallel to a slide connecting face of the insulating socket. The slide cover is formed with a perforation and the driving member has an insertion dent corresponding to the perforation. An operating piece can be inserted into the insertion dent to drive the driving member, whereby the driving cam contacts with the U-shaped dent to drive the slide cover to slide between a separation position and a contact position.

Abstract: An improved zero insertion force socket suitable for engaging with terminals of an integrated circuit such as a CPU of a personal computer. The terminals are permitted to be inserted into and withdrawn from the socket with very little or even zero insertion and withdrawal force. The socket includes multiple contacts and multiple insertion holes each of which has a relatively wide first insertion space for receiving the contacts and a relatively narrow second insertion space for receiving the terminals. Two locating walls are formed at an adjoining portion between the first and second insertion spaces and the each contact has an elastic engaging portion formed with two stopping portions, whereby when the contact is inserted into the first insertion space, the two stopping portion abut against the two locating walls to bias and pre-load the elastic engaging portion of the contact and accurately locate the same at its true position.
