CONECTOR ELECTRICO

摘要

An electrical connector for interconnecting a large scale integrated (LSI) circuit package having a plurality of conductive interfaces with a printed circuit board or other electrical unit. The LSI circuit package can be inserted or removed from the connector absent any significant force. The connector includes a plurality of latches movable on a ramp of a dielectric housing containing a plurality of contact springs. Movement of the latch out of the ramp valley causes it to clamp onto the upper surface of the LSI and forces the lower surface of the LSI containing the conductive interfaces to electrically contact the contact springs in the housing.
