Abstract
1. An IC socket comprises a socket body in which an IC package is accommodated, a press cover mounted to the socket body to be rotatable, and a press member rotatably mounted through a hold shaft to the press cover. One of the socket body and the press member is provided with a guide convex portion projecting toward other thereof, and the other one of the socket body and the press member is provided with a guide groove for guiding the guide convex portion, in which the guide convex portion is adapted to be fitted into the guide groove in accordance with a closing operation of the press cover so that the press member moves vertically with respect to the IC package thereby to press the IC package.
Claims15
An IC socket comprising:
- a socket body adapted to accommodate an IC package;
- a press cover mounted to the socket body to be rotatable;
- and
- a press member rotatably mounted through a hold shaft to the press cover and having a press surface,
- one of said socket body and said press member being provided with a guide convex portion projecting toward the other thereof, and another one of said socket body and said press member being provided with a guide groove for guiding the guide convex portion,
- wherein said guide convex portion is adapted to be fitted into the guide groove in accordance with a closing operation of the press cover so that the press member moves vertically with respect to the IC package while keeping the press surface of the press member parallel to an upper surface of the IC package thereby to press the IC package.
An IC socket comprising:
- a socket body adapted to accommodate an IC package;
- a press cover having a slit and mounted to the socket body to be rotatable;
- a hold shaft rotatably and slidably provided in the slit of the press cover;
- a press member rotatably mounted through the hold shaft to the press cover so that the hold shaft penetrates through the press member;
- and
- an urging means disposed between the hold shaft and the press cover so as to urge the hold shaft toward the press member so that, when a press surface of the press member is in contact with an upper surface of the IC package according to a rotation of the press cover, an urging force of the urging means indirectly acts on the press member through the hold shaft so that the press member presses the IC package.
