Abstract
The present disclosure describes a connector assembly especially suited for a large scale integration (LSI) package. The assembly includes a housing to accommodate the package and a hold-down lid or cover to insure reliable electrical connections between the package circuit leads and the contact elements disposed within the housing. The assembly is characterized by the ease with which the housing may be attached to the interconnection medium, such as a printed circuit board, and the hold-down cover may be fastened to the connector housing. The latter are accomplished by a plurality of metal pins which protrude from the interconnection medium, penetrate the housing, and engage locking slots in the cover.
