Abstract
A compact ZIF type socket is provided having the durability to withstand numerous movements of the slider. The ZIF type IC socket 1 consists of a base housing assembly 10 that accommodates numerous contacts, and a cover housing assembly 40 that can slide over the base housing assembly 10. The cover housing assembly 40 is caused to move in relative terms by inserting a plate-form tool 99 into tool insertion holes 65 and 85 respectively formed in a metal supporting plate 60 on the side of the base housing assembly 10 and a metal supporting plate 80 on the side of the cover housing assembly 40, and rotating this tool 99. The action points of the tool insertion holes 65 and 85 contacted by the tool 99 are formed as circular-arc-form projections 75, 76, 95 and 96. Accordingly, the force of the tool 99 can be transmitted to the base housing assembly 10 and cover housing assembly 40 without causing indentation or damage, etc., of the tool insertion holes 65 and 85, so that a highly durable ZIF type socket can be obtained.
