IC socket

摘要

An IC socket includes a dielectric socket body having a plurality of elongated terminal-receiving passages. A plurality of elongated terminals are received in the passages. At least some of the terminals each include first and second opposite contact ends for longitudinal pressure engagement with appropriate contacts of a pair of electrical devices. A retention section is disposed intermediate the opposite contact ends for fixing the terminal in its respective passage. A first spring section is disposed between the retention section and the first contact end. A second spring section is disposed between the retention section and the second contact end. The first and second spring sections have different resiliencies for applying different contact pressures at the first and second contact ends, respectively.
