ABSTRACT:
A ZIF PGA socket (20) includes a base (22) having a plurality of passageways (24) extending vertically therethrough for receiving a corresponding number of contacts (26) therein, and a cover (28) having a corresponding number of holes (30) extending therethrough in alignment with the corresponding passageways (24) in the base (22) for allowing a corresponding number of pins extending from the PGA component. A lever (44) includes a cam shaft (48) embedded within a channel (50) formed adjacent the rear region of the socket (20) wherein cover (28) includes a retention device (54) and the base includes a restriction plane (64) to cooperate with the retention device (54) of the cover (28), and both of the retention device (54) and the restriction plane (64) are disposed adjacent the cam shaft (48) for efficiently fastening the cover (28) and the base (22) together to resist the larger resistance force occurring thereabout during the socket (20) in a closed state.
