A pair of first shafts are assembled in the first pivoting hole of the insulative housing to pivotally latch the pressing device on the insulative housing and are movable in a vertical direction, so that the pressing device is floatable and can engage with different packages of different thickness. Two second shafts are assembled in the second pivoting holes. The IC socket further includes a plurality of spring members linking the first shafts and the second shafts to make the pressing device downwardly in a vertical direction. | 03-11-2010 |
20100120272 | SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE SOCKET - A pressing member has a pressing section capable of pressing semiconductor devices with different shapes having an external shape within a predetermined range. The pressing section is held, via a coupling pin, by paired arm members coupled to paired lever members rotationally movably supported by a socket main body section. When the pressing member is in a pressing state, the opposite ends of the coupling pin are held by a circular arc surface portion of holding walls. When the pressing member is in a standby state, the opposite ends of the coupling pin are disengaged from the circular arc surface portion of the holding walls. | 05-13-2010 |
20100130032 | BURN-IN SOCKET HAVING ACTUATING MECHANISM STRENGTHENING CONTACT TO FACILITATE ELECTRICAL INTERCONNECTION - An IC socket, adapted for electrically connecting an IC package and a printed circuit board, includes a base, a socket body received in the base, a plurality of contacts received in the socket body, and an actuating mechanism moveably assembled on the base. The socket body includes a first insulative housing and a second insulative housing located under the first insulative housing. The actuating mechanism can actuate the first insulative housing and a second insulative housing to move in a horizontal direction relative to each other and drive the contact to stretch in a vertical direction. | 05-27-2010 |
20100240232 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTING DEVICE - The present invention discloses an electrical connecting device adapted to receive a chip unit. The electrical connecting device includes an insulation base, a terminal set, a circuit board, a cover and a driving mechanism. The insulation base is formed with a terminal area and a first pierced hole. The terminal set is disposed correspondingly in the terminal area. The circuit board is disposed under the insulation base. The circuit board is formed with a pad area, which is disposed correspondingly to and under the terminal area for the terminal set to be soldered on. The circuit board is formed with a through hole corresponding to the first pierced hole. The cover is horizontally and slidably covering the insulation base. The driving mechanism at least has a metal bushing covered into the first pierced hole and the through hole. The driving mechanism further has a cam, which has a driven portion extending to form a first cylinder into the first pierced hole. The first cylinder is jointed into the metal bushing correspondingly. A second cylinder which is off-centered with respect to the first cylinder is formed between the driven portion and the first cylinder and entering the second pierced hole. | 09-23-2010 |
20100267254 | SOCKET ASSEMBLY WITH PICK-UP CAP SERVING AS STAND-OFF - An socket assembly mounted on a printed circuit board for receiving a IC package, comprises an insulative housing defining a plurality of passageways, a plurality of contacts received in the passageways and a pick-up cap covering the insulative housing. The insulative housing has four sidewalls surrounding the passageways. The pick-up cap has three steps, a first step covering the passageways of the housing, a second step seated on top faces of the sidewalls, and a third step set against the printed circuit board. The three steps of the pick-up cap can efficiently protect the insulative housing and the contacts. | 10-21-2010 |
20100330824 | Unified retention mechanism for CPU/socket Loading and thermal solution attach - An apparatus for removably retaining an IC package in engagement with a socket such that the contacts of both the IC package and the socket are properly engaged is disclosed. Specifically, a universal retention mechanism (URM) which may be fabricated in a diecast material, may comprise a retention frame to engage a socket. A load plate hinged to the retention frame may be caused to press the socket and IC package together through force selectively applied through the use of a load lever. In addition, the frame may contain features to attach a thermal solution (e.g. a heat sink or other cooling device) directly to the frame thus eliminating the need to attach it directly to a motherboard or through a backplate. | 12-30-2010 |
20110039425 | BURN-IN SOCKET ASSEMBLY WITH BASE HAVING PROTRUDING STRIPS - A burn-in socket assembly comprises a base, a loading member and a plurality of contacts. The base has a bottom wall, a plurality of sidewalls and a cavity surrounded by the bottom wall and the sidewalls, the bottom wall defines a plurality of contact receiving holes. The loading member is assembled within the base for loading an integrated circuit package and defines a plurality of passageways corresponding to the contact receiving holes of the base. The contacts are received in the contact receiving holes of the base and the passageways of the loading member. The bottom wall is further formed with a plurality of protruding strips on a top surface thereof and between two adjacent rows of the contact receiving holes to support the loading member. | 02-17-2011 |
