ABSTRACT:
A socket connector includes a base defining slots for receiving and retaining contact elements therein. A cover adapted to support an electronic device, such as a central processing unit (CPU), defines holes corresponding to the slots of the base with pins of the CPU extending therethrough. The cover is positioned on the base with the pins partially received in the slots and is moved with respect thereto by an actuation device exerting a force on an edge thereof. A protection frame includes several segments forming channels for snugly receiving edges of the cover thereby protecting the cover from damage caused by the actuation force. The frame substantially extends along edges of the cover thereby enhancing the rigidity of the cover and preventing the cover from experiencing warpage during manufacture and operation.
