Abstract

An electrical connector for electrical connection to conductive members of a ceramic chip carrier comprises first and second dielectric frame members each of which has opposed side members in which electrical terminal posts are secured at spaced intervals with top sections extending above upper surfaces of the side members and bottom sections extending below bottom surfaces of the side members. Rail members extend between respective side members of each of the frame members so that when the frame members are nested together the rail members of one of the frame members are disposed in engagement with the rail members of the other of the frame members. Latching members on each of the frame members latch the frame members together thereby forming a chip carrier-receiving area so that the top sections of the terminal posts can be eletrically connected to respective conductive members when the ceramic chip carrier is positioned within the chip carrier-receiving area.
