Socket having a rotatable latch with a pressing portion and a depressing portion

摘要

An IC socket includes a socket body, a contact pin that contacts a terminal of an IC package, and a latch that presses the IC package from an upper side thereof. An elastic piece of the contact pin is extended along substantially horizontal direction. The latch is formed with a can portion. When the latch is rotated in an opening direction thereof, the elastic piece is pressed by the cam portion so as to be elastically deformed downward so that the contact portion is displaced to be separated downward from a contacting position to the terminal of the IC package. When the latch is rotated in a closing direction thereof, a pressing force of the cam portion applied to the elastic piece is released so as to displace the cam portion upward by the elastic force of the elastic piece to thereby contact the terminal of the IC package.

1. A socket for electric part comprising:
a socket body that accommodates an electric part having a lower surface and a terminal provided to the lower surface; a contact pin provided for the socket body and formed with an elastic piece comprising a contact portion to contact the terminal of the electric part when the electric part is accommodated in the socket body; and a latch which is rotatable about a rotation shaft and configured to press the electric part, when the electric part is accommodated in the socket body, from an upper side of the socket body, wherein
the elastic piece of the contact pin is extended substantially along a horizontal direction,the latch includes a pressing portion and a depressing portion integrally formed together,when the latch is rotated in an opening direction and the electric part is accommodated in the socket body, the elastic piece is pressed downward by the depressing portion of the latch so as to be elastically deformed downward so that the contact portion is displaced downward so as to be separated downward from a contacting position to the terminal of the electric part, andwhen the latch is rotated in a closing direction and the electric part is accommodated in the socket body, the electric part is pressed by the pressing portion from an upper side to thereby release a pressing force of the depressing portion of the latch applied to the elastic piece so as to displace the elastic piece upward by the elastic force of the elastic piece to thereby contact the terminal of the electric part.
