ABSTRACT:
A conductive terminal pin for a zero-insert force integrated circuit socket assembly has an upper part with a back portion and a curved contact portion, and a lower part that serves as a mounting leg. The contact portion includes a pair of elongated contact arms that are connected spacedly to a bottom edge of the back portion. Each of the contact arms has a first segment that extends substantially horizontally from the back portion, a second segment that extends upwardly from a distal end of the first segment, and a third segment that extends substantially horizontally from a distal end of the second segment toward the back portion. The contact arms define therebetween a pin receiving channel with a wider insert portion that extends between a portion of the third segments of the contact arms adjacent to the second segments, and a narrower retaining portion that extends between a portion of the third segments of the contact arms adjacent to the back portion. The lower part extends downwardly from the bottom edge of the back portion and is disposed between the contact arms.
