Abstract
An electrical connector assembly, comprises a base (4) defining an upper surface and a lower surface, a central processing unit (CPU) (3) assembled upon the upper surface of the base, a printed circuit board (PCB) (5) arranged at the lower surface of the base. A retainer (1) comprises a top cover (11), a bottom cover (12) and a side wall (13) laterally connecting the top cover and the bottom cover, the top cover forms a pivoting structure (111) extending along a first direction at a free edge thereof. A pressing member (2) comprises a shaft (21) being pivotally mounted to the pivoting structure for the pressing plate (23) to press against an upper face of the CPU.
Claims18
An electrical connector assembly comprising:
- a base defining an upper surface and a lower surface and retaining a plurality of contacts extending beyond the upper and lower surfaces;
- a printed circuit board (PCB) arranged at the lower surface of the base and electrically connecting with the contacts;
- a central processing unit (CPU) assembled upon the upper surface of the base;
- a retainer comprising a top cover, a bottom cover, and a side wall laterally connecting the top cover and the bottom cover, the top and bottom covers and the side wall cooperatively defining a receiving space for the base, the PCB, and the CPU, the top cover comprising a pivoting structure extending along a first direction at a free edge thereof;
- and
- a pressing member comprising a shaft mounted to the pivoting structure and a pressing plate, the shaft being pivotally relative to the pivoting structure for the pressing plate to press against an upper face of the CPU.
A loading equipment for loading a central processing unit (CPU), a printed circuit board (PCB), and a base with terminals electrically connecting the CPU and the PCB, comprising:
- a retainer having a top cover, a bottom cover and a side wall laterally connecting the top cover and the bottom cover;
- and
- a pressing member connecting to the top cover and having a pressing plate to press the CPU.
An electrical assembly comprising:
- a retainer including opposite top cover and bottom cover commonly defining a space therebetween in a vertical direction, said space communicating with an exterior laterally via a front opening, said top cover being deflectable relative to the cover;
- a printed circuit board with a connector thereon and an electronic component seated upon the connector together forming a sub-assembly which is adapted to be inserted into the said space laterally;
- and
- a pressing member being discrete from while connected to a front edge region of the top cover adjacent to the front opening;
- wherein
- said pressing member is moveable relative to the top cover to comply with insertion or withdrawal of the sub-assembly with regard to the space.
