ABSTRACT:
A chip carrier socket (2, 102) has a latching chip (30, 130) which extends across a recess (10, 110) of the chip carrier socket (2, 102) to maintain a chip carrier (22, 122) positioned in the recess (10, 110). The latching chip (30, 130) is mounted to the chip carrier socket (2, 102) in a manner which allows the latching chip (30, 130) to move between an open and a closed position. The latching chip (30, 130) is configured to cooperate with the chip carrier socket (2, 102) such that the latching chip (30, 130) is prevented from being accidentally removed from the chip carrier socket (2, 102) during the operation thereof, thereby eliminating the possibility of the latching chip (30, 130) making electrical contact with other circuitry provided in the area. An overstress member (170) is provided on the latching clip (130) to insure that the latching chip will be reliable over many cycles.
