ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for an integrated circuit includes two interengaging connector components. One of the components (1) has a chip receiving socket that receives the integrated circuit (41) while the other component (21) has a wire receiving socket that receives at least one array of wires (99). Each component further includes a plurality of conductive terminals (3,23) that engage the integrated circuit or the wires. The terminals of the other component have their contact portions (29) offset. Two of the terminals of the one component are interconnected so they have two contact blades (10) but only one IC engaging contact (8) whereby a single lead (42) of the IC may be electrically joined to a pair of the wires (99), the voided contact spring region being for alignment with a dummy lead of the IC. The terminals (3,23) are formed in a single die and simultaneously inserted into their respective housings in order to simplify the manufacturing process.
