A zero insertion force socket (1) for electrically connecting a central processing unit (CPU) with a printed circuit board (PCB) comprises a base (10), a cover (20) slidably mounted on the base, and terminals (30) received in the base, a rotatable cam actuator (40) for actuating the cover to slide on the base, a protecting mechanism (50) and a washer (60) mounted between the cover and the base. The protecting mechanism comprises a cover plate (51) in the cover and a bottom plate (52) in the base. The cover plate defines an elongated slot (512). A pair of opposite cam stoppers (515) extends upwardly from one side of the slot. The cam actuator has a protrusion (45) abutting against one of the cam stoppers during rotation.
