ABSTRACT:
The present invention sets forth a low height socket for an integrated circuit chip carrier of the "Tape Pak" type. The unique contact is arranged in the shape of a tuning fork. The chip carrier, having flexible leads projecting outwardly from its sides, is placed in the lower body of the socket with the leads resting on top of their respective tuning fork contacts. The cover, having locking members projecting downwardly and in alignment with the tuning fork contacts, is forced into engagement with the lower body so that the locking members deflect the leads downwardly, bending them about the contacting portion of the tuning fork shaped contacts. The two arms of each tuning fork then has the locking member and a respective lead wedged therebetween.
