ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for temporary attachment to two sets of linearly arrayed electrical contacts on opposite exposed sides of a rectangular-block-shaped electrical component, such as an integrated circuit chip, mounted on a circuit board. The electrical connector includes two sets of lineraly arrayed conductive pins for connection to the first and second sets of contacts of the board-mounted component. Each set of pins is held by a slab of circuit-board material. When the connector is positioned over the board-mounted component for attachment thereto, a first end portion of each pin is disposed beneath its respective slab for connection to a corresponding contact of the electrical component, and the other end portion of each pin is exposed for connection to some other electrical component. With the slabs positioned over the board-mounted electrical component for attaching the connector thereto, a clamping mechanism is operated to force the first and second slabs toward each other in order to cause the first end portion of each pin to firmly press against the corresponding respective contact of the board-mounted electrical component. Pressing the slabs together counteracts the bending moment applied to the slabs by the pressure of the pins against the contacts. Extensions of end caps attached to the slabs are flush with the end portions of the pins that are disposed beneath the slabs so that the connector may be readily positioned with the pins in contact with contacts of a board-mounted component that only slightly rise above the surface of the board.
