ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a connector for connecting an IC package to a printed circuit board (PCB). The connector includes a base; a wall perpendicular to and surrounding the bottom base to form a recess for accommodating the IC package, the wall having a plurality of slots formed on the inner side thereof and lining up side-by-side therealong; a plurality of terminals, each of which is fitted within one of the slots, for electrically connecting the pins of the IC package to the printed circuit board. Each terminal is formed by bending a conducting strip into substantially four portions including: a securing portion to be inserted into a securing groove in the slot to secure the terminal therein; a mounting portion to be attached to the PCB by using a surface mounting technique; a first contact portion positioned over the mounting portion and contacting the pin of the IC package at a first lower point; and a second contact portion extending generally upwards from the first contact portion with a slight inclination towards the recess and contacting the pin of the IC package at a second upper point for conducting contact with the pin and to exert a downward and inward directed force upon the pin so as to retain the IC package within the connector.
