ABSTRACT:
A ZIF PGA socket tool (42) for releasably coupling a pin grid array (PGA) chip (22) with a "latch-less" zero insertion force (ZIF) socket (20) includes a housing (44), a sled (46), and an actuator (48). The housing (44) is configured to be placed in fixed relation to the ZIF socket (20). The sled (46) includes rails (84) that slidably couple with corresponding grooves (82) in the housing (44). The sled (46) further includes a shoulder (98) configured to abut an edge (40) of the PGA chip (22). The actuator (48) includes a pin (122) that is received by a slotted opening (118) in the sled (46). The pin (122) and the slotted opening (118) form a cooperative relationship such that rotational movement of the actuator (48) produces rectilinear movement of the sled (46) so that the shoulder (98) of the sled (46) imparts a pushing force on the edge (40) of the PGA chip (22).
