Abstract

A dual readout SIMM socket includes a dielectric housing having a module receiving slot, terminal slots transverse and open to the module receiving slot, and terminals positioned in the terminal slots. An electrically conductive ground plane extends along a length of the housing. The ground plane has leads for establishing electrical contact with circuits on a substrate. A plurality of signal and ground terminals are arranged in a selected sequence in the terminal slots. Each of the signal and ground terminals has a trace engaging contact point extending into the module receiving slot for establishing electrical contact with respective signal and ground traces on a SIMM panel received therein. Each of the ground terminals has a contact member for establishing electrical contact with the ground plane. Each of the signal terminals has a lead for establishing electrical contact with other circuits on the substrate.
