  • Test socket for ball grib array electronic module
    Patent number: 6624647
    Abstract: An electronic module test assembly including a frame, an array of contact pins, and at least one latch. The frame has a recess formed therein for receiving an electronic module. The array of contact pins is anchored to the frame. The contact pins have resiliently depressible terminals forming a resiliently depressible contact array in the recess. The latch is movably mounted to the frame for latching the electronic module to the frame. The latch is movable relative to the frame and engages an outer edge of the electronic module when the electronic module is disposed against the resiliently depressible contact array. The resiliently depressible contact array biases the electronic module against the latch.

  • Electrical conductor strain relief for a printed circuit board
    Patent number: 6454596
    Abstract: An electrical conductor strain relief for connecting electrical conductors to a printed circuit board. The strain relief includes a first member having a first array of first conductor receiving holes and a second member having a second array of second conductor receiving holes. The second member is connectable to the first member at a predetermined fixed location such that the second holes are at least partially aligned with respective ones of the first holes as pairs of holes. The first and second holes of each pair of holes have center axes which are offset relative to each other.
