Abstract: An electrical socket contact (1) includes an elongated sleeve (30) having an upper large hollow portion (32) for receiving a clip (10) therein and a lower small pin portion (34) for reception in a hole of a board on which a PGA insulative socket housing is mounted. The clip (10) comprises at the top a ring (12) from which a pair of opposite beams (16) extend downwardly. The beams (16) converge approximately in the midst for engagement with a male pin received within the socket contact (1). A bight portion (20) connectively intermediates between the distal ends of the beams (16) to serve to stabilize the beams (16) and allow the beams (16) to move as a unit. At the top, the ring (12) retains the clip within the sleeve (30) with an interference fit and at the bottom, the bight portion (20) associated with the distal ends of the beams (16) freely move in all directions to accommodate any off-center of the male pine due to angularity or position.

Abstract: An extractor (50) comprises a table-like main body (52) having a plate (54) and four legs (56) extending downward from the four corners of the plate (54), respectively. Disposed between every two adjacent legs (56) is a wall (58) extending downward from an edge of the plate (54). A lengthwise and horizontal slot (68) is formed along each wall (58). A hole (72) is positioned at the center of the plate (54). An actuator (75) includes a bar (76) axially moveable within the hole (72). A knob (80) is positioned at the top of the bar (76) and above the plate (54). An actuating block (78) is positioned at the bottom of the bar (76) and below the plate (54). The slot (68) can retain a cover (24) of an IC socket assembly (20) in the main body (52) and the actuator (75) can release the cover (24) of the socket assembly (20) from the main body (52).

Abstract: There is disclosed a coaxial contact for termination to a coaxial cable. The coaxial contact has an electrically conductive shell defining an open forward end (116). A center contact (56) for termination to a center conductor (208) of the cable is disposed concentrically within and isolated from shell (104) by a dielectric insert (26) and ferrule (28). A sleeve (300) is positioned over the cable jacket during assembly and after the center contact, dielectric insert and ferrule are positioned, the sleeve is employed to lay the braid strands over the ferrule. The sleeve may be left over the braid and crimped between the shell and braid.

Abstract: A coaxial contact (22) for termination to a coaxial cable (200) having a center conductor (208) surrounded by a dielectric material (206) thence a braid (204) and jacket. The coaxial contact (22) has a center contact (24) with a mating portion (42), a conductor attaching portion (46) and a shank (50) extending therebetween. A first substantially semi-cylindrical insert member (160) having an axial recess (170) adapted to receive at least a portion of the center contact (24) is positioned adjacent the center contact (24), A second substantially semi-cylindrical dielectric insert member(162) is adapted to be positioned over the first insert member (160) resulting in a substantially cylindrical dielectric structure (26) that surrounds a portion of the center contact (24). A ferrule (28, 28') is positioned over a portion of the dielectric insert. An electrically conductive shell secures the subassembly together.

Abstract: There is disclosed a coaxial contact for termination to a coaxial cable. The coaxial contact has an electrically conductive shell defining an open forward end (116). A center contact (56) for termination to a center conductor (208) of the cable has a mating portion defining cantilever beam means (60) extending to respective distal ends (54). The center contact (56) is disposed concentrically within and isolated from shell (104) by a first dielectric insert (26). A second dielectric insert (192) having a forward portion (232) and a rearward portion (234) is secured in the shell proximate the forward end (116). The second insert (192) has an axial bore (220) therein for receiving a center pin contact of a mating connector. The rearward portion receives within bore (220) the distal ends (54) and a limited length of the cantilever beam means (60).
