Abstract
An electrical connector connecting with a chip module includes a base with a receiving space and a cover covering on the base. The cover includes a first edge, a second edge, a third edge and a fourth edge. The four edges connect with each other to form four engaging portions, and a rectangular opening surrounded therein. The first edge is pivotally connected to the base. The cover includes an extending portion extending from the second edge. The cover includes four pressing portions located at four inner corners of the cover.
Claims20
An electrical connector connecting with a chip module, comprising:
- a base with a receiving space for bearing the chip module;
- and
- a cover covering on the base, the cover comprising a first edge, a second edge opposite to the first edge in a front-to-rear direction, a third edge and a fourth edge opposite to the third edge, the four edges connected with each other to form a rectangular opening, the first edge pivotally connected to the base, and an extending portion extending forwardly from the second edge;
- wherein
- the cover comprises at least four first pressing portions located at four inner corners of the cover to press the chip module.
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative base forming a rectangular receiving space for snugly receiving a chip module therein;
- and
- a metallic cover moveably positioned upon the insulative base in a pivotal manner, and having a rectangular configuration with opposite first and second sides and opposite third and fourth sides commonly define a rectangular opening, said first side and said second side parallel to each other, said third side and said fourth side parallel to each other, said first side and said second side perpendicular to said third side and said fourth side, wherein
- at least four downwardly protruding pressing portions are located on four corners of said metallic cover and aligned with four corners of the rectangular receiving space for downwardly pressing four corners of the chip module received in the receiving space.
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative base forming a rectangular receiving space for snugly receiving a chip module therein;
- and
- a metallic cover moveably positioned upon the insulative base, and having a rectangular configuration with opposite first and second sides and opposite third and fourth sides commonly define a rectangular opening, said first side and said second side parallel to each other, said third side and said fourth side parallel to each other, said first side and said second side perpendicular to said third side and said fourth side, a pair of downwardly extending walls formed along the third side and the fourth side;
- a metallic fixing member including four interconnected bars commonly in a horizontal plane to form an opening snugly surrounding the insulative base and forming a pair of elongated receiving slots beside the corresponding third and fourth sides of the insulative base to receive said pair of downwardly extending walls therein, respectively;
- wherein
- the cover is pivotal about the first side and at least a pair of downwardly protruding pressing portions are respectively formed on the corresponding third and fourth sides of the metallic cover for downwardly pressing the chip module received in the receiving space.
