Abstract
An electrical connector assembly includes an insulative housing, a plurality of contacts retained to the housing, a metallic frame/fastener surrounding the housing, a retainer/clip positioned upon the housing and retaining a CPU thereon. The metallic frame includes four positioning posts at four corners, and the retainer includes a frame part to form a receiving space for receiving the CPU therein, and further includes four metallic retaining supports embedded within four corners of the retainer corresponding to the four positioning posts so as to allow the four positioning posts to extending therethrough in the vertical direction.
Claims20
An electrical connector assembly for mounting to a printed circuit board, comprising:
- an insulative housing with a plurality of contacts for receiving an electronic package therein;
- a metallic frame surrounding the housing and equipped with a plurality of upstanding positioning posts at corners;
- an insulative retainer positioning upon both the housing and the metallic frame, and including a frame part with a receiving space for holding said electronic package, and a plurality of metallic retaining supports embedded within corners of the frame part;
- wherein
- each retaining support includes a ring with a through hole therein to receive the corresponding positioning post therein.
A retainer for use with an electrical connector assembly having a metallic frame having upstanding positioning posts at corners thereof and surrounding an insulative housing with a plurality of contacts retained therein, comprising:
- an insulative frame part forming a receiving space for receiving an electronic package therein;
- and
- a plurality of metallic retaining supports integrally formed within corners of the frame part via insert-molding;
- wherein
- the frame part forms a plurality of latches for holding the electronic package, and each of the retaining supports forms a ring with a through hole for allowing the positioning post to extend therethrough in a vertical direction.
A combination comprising:
- a metallic rectangular frame including a plurality of upstanding positioning posts at four corners thereof;
- and
- an insulative retainer including a rectangular frame part with a receiving space therein for receiving an electronic package, and a plurality of metallic retaining supports integrally formed at four corners of the frame part via insert-molding;
- wherein
- the retaining support includes a ring with a through hole to receive the corresponding positioning post therein along a vertical direction, and said ring has an outer portion laterally exposed to an exterior and an inner portion adhered to the frame part.
