Claims7
A memory socket with a special contact mechanism, comprising:
- a socket frame having two inner projecting portions;
- a plurality of socket pins arranged in two opposite rows leaning respectively against said two inner projecting portions in said socket frame, one end of said socket pin is fixed on said socket frame and the other end of said socket pin is a contact end, each socket pin is provided with a inwardly-projecting portion;
- and
- an interacting member movably installed between said two opposite rows of said socket pins in an inserting direction of a memory module, said interacting member is provided with a cam portion;
- wherein said cam portion of said interacting member is configured to push said inwardly-projecting portions of said socket pins away from said interacting member while said memory module is inserted into said socket frame, so that said socket pins are bended by the relative movements of said inwardly-projecting portions of said socket pins and said inner projecting portions of said socket frame, thereby inwardly moving said contact end of each said socket pin to contact said inserted memory module.
