ABSTRACT:
A zero insertion force socket for connecting a CPU to a printed circuit board consists of a dielectric base receiving a number of contacts therein, and a cover movably mounted on the base between a closed position and an open position. At the open position, pins of the CPU extending through the cover into the base are each received in a space defined within an arc section of the corresponding contact. At the closed position, each pin is moved to be clamped between fixed and movable contacting sections of the corresponding contact. The movable contacting section connects with the fixed contacting section via the arc section providing the clamping force. Each fixed contacting section connects with a tail portion located therebelow for being soldered to the printed circuit board.
