ABSTRACT:
A socket for connecting to an integrated circuit module containing pin grid array contacts and land grid array contacts thereon. The socket has a first portion containing openings therein for the pin grid array contacts and a second portion for contacting the land grid array contacts. The first portion of the socket is disposed around the second portion of the socket, and the second portion is movable with respect to the first portion. The second portion is located in a position wherein the pin grid array contacts on the integrated circuit module are received in the openings in the first portion before the land grid array contacts on the integrated circuit module contact the second portion, the second portion being biased toward the integrated circuit module by a spring. The socket further includes movable connectors in the openings in the first portion of the socket for releasably securing the pin grid array contacts, such that the pin grid array and land grid array contacts on the integrated circuit module are simultaneously in contact with the respective portions of the socket. The connectors comprise leaf connectors movable in a direction lateral to the pin grid array contacts to open while receiving the pin grid array contacts and close to secure the pin grid array contacts in the openings. Inflatable bladders are employed to simultaneously move the leaf connectors between the open and closed positions.
