ABSTRACT:
A zero extraction force socket including an insulative housing formed with multiple insertion holes for conductive contacts to insert thereinto. Multiple insertion pins of an integrated circuit are inserted into the insertion holes to contact with the conductive contacts. The housing is further formed with a fulcrum dent disposed on or near one edge of the housing for a pushing piece to insert thereinto. The fulcrum dent serves as a leverage fulcrum, enabling the pushing piece to directly push/lever an edge of the integrated circuit and shift the integrated circuit on an insertion face of the housing with the insertion pins of the integrated circuit moving from a contacting position where the insertion pins contact with the conductive contacts to a loosening position where the insertion pins loosen from the conductive contacts. The conductive contact includes a U-shaped base section, at least two resilient sections downward extending from the base section, a main stem section connected with the base section and an insertion leg section downward extending from the main stem section. The base section is attached to a lateral wall of the insertion hole, permitting the insertion pin of the integrated circuit to be smoothly slided over the base section and tightly clamped in the resilient sections.
