Abstract: Disclosed is a floating female socket with a self-return function, which includes a female socket insulator, a female socket cover, a female socket terminal, a shielding housing, and an elastic guide plate. Two elastic guide plates are disposed, which are formed by upwardly extending left and right side walls of the shielding housing. The elastic guide plates each include an elastic side top and an arc-shaped guide part, where the elastic side top is configured to jack up against the female socket cover and is formed by inwardly extending an inner wall of the elastic guide plate. The arc-shaped guide part is formed by externally bending and extending a free end of the elastic guide plate.

Abstract: A card connector is disclosed having a base and a plurality of contacts. The plurality of contacts is positioned on the base. Each of the contacts has a contacting portion electrically contacting an electrical card when the electrical card inserted into the card connector. Each contact has an outer facing surface, and a supporting portion having two elastic arms extending from the base and intersecting at the contacting portion. Each of the elastic arms has a guide arm portion extending from the contacting portion at an angle of approximately 0 to 90 degrees with respect to a card insertion direction. Each guide arm portions has a smooth, ridge-shaped convex surface extending to the contacting portion and a smooth transitional surface with the outer facing surface of the contacting portion.

Abstract: A card connector for receiving an electrical card is disclosed having a base and a plurality of contacts. The plurality of contacts is positioned on the base. Each contact has a support member with two elastic arms extending away from the base. Each elastic arm has an edge that intersects together at a vertex that is elastically flexible toward and away from the base. Each contact further includes a contact element positioned at the vertex.

Abstract: An IC socket comprises a base, a cover moveably mounted to the base, and an actuating mechanism driving the cover to move between a first position and a second position. The base includes a plurality of passageways and at least a rib extending upwardly from a top surface. The cover defines a hole corresponding to the rib and has a plurality of apertures corresponding to the passageways.

Abstract: An electrical connector (1) for electrically connecting an integrated circuit to a circuit board includes base (10) defining a plurality of receiving grooves (101) arranged in a matrix. The receiving grooves are arranged in rows and columns, one lengthways grid (102a/102b) is defined between every two adjacent columns and one transverse grid (103) is defined between every two adjacent rows. The lengthways grids between different columns have different width.
