Abstract
An electrical socket (10) for electrically connecting a leaded chip carrier (24) to a substrate is disclosed. The socket (10) includes a frame-shape base (12) with contacts (14) around the periphery of a central opening. Each contact (14) has a pair of outwardly extending, spaced apart arms (64,72) with one arm (72) having a recess (82) on an inside surface (80). The socket (10) also includes a cover (16) with locking members (18) around the periphery of a central opening. The locking members (18) include cantilever beams (90,92) which enter the space (74) between the contact arms (64,72) to press a lead (28) from the carrier (24) against one arm (64).
