ABSTRACT:
A zero insertion force socket for connecting the leads of an integrated circuit carrier to conductors on a printed circuit board. The socket contains a movable actuator which shifts the contacts in the socket into engagement with the leads on the carrier after the leads have been initially inserted into the socket in positions spaced from the contacts. The actuator comprises a partitioning structure made of interleaved thin metal strips which allow a very dense arrangement of the contacts in the socket and also perform an electrical shielding function.
