ABSTRACT:
An electrical socket for interconnecting a pin grid array to a printed circuit board includes an insulative housing having a plurality of apertures extending between upper and lower faces, the socket apertures have disposed therein, terminals for receiving the pins of the pin grid array in an electrically interconnected condition. A pin receiving portion of the terminal includes a circular band portion with resilient contact arms extending downwardly therefrom. The band portion includes a seam which allows for the expansion of the seam to relieve the stress in the band cuased by the deflection of the contact arms. The center of the circular band portion is also moveable to allow the pin receiving portion to realign itself to allow the reception of misaligned pins.
