Abstract
A socket for an IC package avoids deformation or damage of an IC package body. The socket includes a socket body having a receptacle portion of the IC package and a plurality of contacts arranged on a bottom surface of the receptacle portion and resiliently displaceable in up and down directions. Latches are pivotably provided in the socket body and being biased toward the receptacle portion by springs. The socket further includes connecting metals provided for relative motion with respect to the socket body and for moving the latches away from the receptacle portion against the springs, slots and projections restricting motion magnitude toward the bottom surface of the receptacle portion at a predetermined value.

A socket for an IC package comprising:
- a socket body having a receptacle portion of the IC package and contacts arranged on a bottom surface of said receptacle portion and resiliently displaceable in up and down directions;
- a latch pivotably provided in said socket body and being biased toward said receptacle portion by spring means;
- latch releasing means, provided for relative movement with respect to said socket body, for moving said latch away from said receptacle portion against spring force applied by said spring means;
- and
- motion magnitude restricting means for restricting motion magnitude of said latch toward the bottom surface of said receptacle portion.
A socket for an IC package comprising:
- a socket body having a quadrangular IC package receptacle portion and a plurality of contacts arranged in a bottom surface of said receptacle portion and resiliently displaceable in up and down directions;
- a pair of latches pivotably provided in said socket body and being biased toward said receptacle portion by spring means;
- latch releasing means, provided for relative movement with respect to said socket body, for moving said pair of latches away from said receptacle portion against said spring means;
- and
- motion magnitude restricting means for restricting motion magnitude of said pair of latches toward the bottom surface of said receptacle portion.
