Abstract
An electrical connection arrangement includes an IC package, and a PCB having a plurality of receiving holes for receiving a plurality of contacts therein. The contact having a contacting portion engaged with the IC package that seated upon the PCB. A retaining device is provided for securing the IC package onto the PCB. Since there is no socket utilized in the present invention, the total profile of the arrangement and the cost are effectively reduced.
