Abstract
An electrical socket includes a molded insulative base carrying rows of resilient electrical terminals. A leadless chip carrier initially is supported on the terminals, with the pads of the carrier engaging the terminals. A lid is placed over the carrier and is rotatably advanced to press against the carrier, causing the carrier to deflect resiliently the terminals, and to seat against the base. The lid clamps the carrier against the base and is adjustable to accommodate a carrier which varies in height within specified tolerances.
