ABSTRACT:
Electrical connector assemblies in which a flat, leadless integrated circuit package with a ceramic body and conductive pads thereon is rearwardly received on an insulating base means and the conductive pads are interconnected under high unit pressure with active portions of contact means disposed on the base means wherein the pressure engagement of the active portions provides at least partial support for the package. Initially, free-ended active portions of the contact means extend frontwardly from mounting portions fixably positioned in the base means, and are movable rearwardly with lateral deflection by cantilever spring means interconnecting the active and mounting portions, the rearward movement developing a high unit pressure between the active portions and pads and the lateral deflection providing a wiping action on the conductive pads. Free ends of the active portions are resiliently rearwardly restrained in the base means and provide a frontward biasing means for additional development of high unit pressure during initial rearward movement of the conductive pads and active portions in engaging relationship. Polarizing pins disposed on the base means and engageable with the package act to restrain the package against lateral displacement during wiping action of the active portions. The package is held on the base means by cover means having a common end with one end of the base means and integrally hinged thereto.
