ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to a socket system for the receipt of an integrated circuit "chip", where such a chip, as known in the art, typically is a planar electronic device having plural leads extending from the periphery thereof. The system, operatively mounted to a planar electronic device, such as a motherboard, comprises a frame having a central recess defined by converging side walls and terminating in a floor, and plural slots about the periphery of the floor for receiving elastomeric connectors for electrically interconnecting the chip leads to the mother board. Overriding the frame, for mechanical engagement therewith, is a force applying member, where such member includes plural ribs extending downwardly from the member and positioned to initially contact the respective converging side walls when the force applying member is caused to mechanically engage the frame. In the engaging mode, the ribs are caused to ride along the converging walls and flex inwardly towards the floor slots into which the chip leads lie. By this action the ribs apply a lateral force to and wipe the leads, while applying a vertical force to the ends of the chip leads overlying the elastomeric connector.
