Abstract
An IC socket for receiving an IC package comprises a socket body for carrying the IC package. A plurality of contacts are received in the socket body for electrical connection with the IC package. A driving member is mounted upon the socket body and able to operate between an upper position and a lower position. At least one latch device comprises an upper section, a lower section parallel to the upper section and a regulator. The regular links the upper section and the lower section and force the lower section to move relative to the upper section.

An IC socket for receiving an IC package comprising:
- a socket body for carrying the IC package;
- a plurality of contacts received in the socket body for electrical connection with the IC package;
- a driving member mounted upon the socket body and being able to be operated between an upper position and a lower position;
- and
- at least one latch device driven by the driving member to shift between a closed position and an opened position, the latch device having an upper section, a lower section located below the upper section and pressing the IC package toward the socket body, and a regulator interconnecting with the upper section and the lower section respectively, to adjust a position of the lower section relative to the upper section.
