Socketless separable connector

摘要

A connector for connecting leads from an integrated circuit package to a printed circuit board or the like wherein the connection between the circuit board and the semiconductor chip leads are as short as possible. This is accomplished by providing a frame which abuts the chip carrier and leads extending therefrom whereby the leads are formed over a frame and travel in a direct path to pads on the printed circuit board. Spring members are held in the frame by a yoke, there being one spring element for each lead which forces the chip carrier leads against the printed circuit pad directly thereby obtaining the shortest possible path.
