ABSTRACT:
A chip carrier socket and contact which provides high contact mating forces and short circuit path length is taught. Briefly stated, a chip carrier socket housing is comprised of a base portion having contacts disposed therein with a retainer portion being placed thereon. A chip carrier having conductive leads is placed between the base and the retainer. The retainer has a spring carrier piece contained therein with the spring carrier acting on fingers which are part of the retainer. The retainer fingers urge the conductive leads of the chip carrier into electrical contact with the contact thereby utilizing the contacts as points of electrical communication only and not for exerting contact mating force.
