Abstract
A socket for a pin grid-array package includes a base housing having terminals arranged in the same grid pattern as the lead pins of the pin grid-array package, an overlying slide cover having through holes arranged in the same grid pattern for accommodating the lead pins, and a slide drive for driving the overlying slide cover on the underlying base housing. The base housing is designed so that terminals may be press-fit in their terminal-receiving cavities from above the upper side of the base housing until their tails to appear from the bottom of the base housing.
