ABSTRACT:
A socket (10) for retainably receiving a module (11) therein, includes an insulative housing (12) having a plurality of passageways (16) extending therethrough in a front-to-end direction for receiving a corresponding number of contacts (18) therein for engagement with the corresponding circuit pads on the module. A latch device (26) is positioned at either end of the housing (12) wherein each latch device (26) includes a plastic member (28) integral with housing (12) and an attachable separate metal member (30) wherein the plastic member (28) comprises a resilient main body (48) with an upward extending post (50) proximate the distal end having an expansion head (52) on the tip, and the metal member (30) comprises a resilient main body (54) with a mounting section (58) and a clamping section (60) opposite to the mounting section (58), and an operation section (70) integrally extending from the clamping section (60), whereby by laterally pressing the operation section (70), the plastic member (28) can be actuated to be outward deflected by the outward moving clamping section (60) so that the module (11) can be disengaged from the locking expansion head (52) of the plastic member (28).
