Abstract
An IC socket adapted to establish an electrical connection between an IC package and a printed board includes a socket body having a mount portion on which the IC package is mounted, a number of contact pins disposed on the socket body in substantially equally adjacent arrangement, each of the contact pins having one end to be connected to a terminal of the IC package and another end to be connected to the printed board, and an interval widening member provided for the socket body for widening a pitch interval between the other ends of adjacent contact pins so as to provide a predetermined distance therebetween.

An IC socket adapted to establish an electrical connection between an IC package and a printed board, comprising:
- a socket body having a mount portion on which the IC package is mounted;
- a plurality of contact pins disposed on
- the socket body in substantially equal adjacent arrangement, each of said contact pins having one end to be connected to a terminal of the IC package and an other end to be connected to the printed board;
- and
- means provided for the socket body for widening a pitch interval between the other ends of adjacent contact pins so as to provide a predetermined distance therebetween,
- wherein said interval widening means comprises a converter unit arranged at a predetermined distance from the socket body and wherein said converter unit is formed with through holes, which are arranged with predetermined intervals therebetween and into which said contact pins are inserted, the converter unit being provided with guide means for guiding the other ends of the contact pins toward the through holes while widening intervals between the other ends of the adjacent contact pins at the time the converter is mounted to the socket body, the guide means being positioned at the upper side of the through holes.
An IC socket adapted to establish an electrical connection between an IC package and a printed board, comprising:
- a socket body having a mount portion on which the IC package is mounted;
- a plurality of contact pins disposed on the socket body in substantially equal adjacent arrangement, each of said contact pins having one end to be connected to a terminal of the IC package and an other end to be connected to the printed board;
- and
- means provided for the socket body for widening a pitch interval between the other ends of adjacent contact pins so as to provide a predetermined distance therebetween,
- wherein said interval widening means comprises a converter unit arranged at a predetermined distance from the socket body and said converter unit is formed with through holes, which are arranged at predetermined intervals therebetween and into which said contact pins are inserted, the converter unit being provided with guide means for guiding the contact pins projecting from the socket body toward the through holes while widening intervals between the other ends of the adjacent contact pins, and
- wherein said guide means comprises a plurality of rod members disposed between the contact pins, respectively, so as to be inserted thereinto and withdrawn therefrom.
An IC socket adapted to establish an electrical connection between an IC package and a, printed board, comprising:
- a socket body having a mount portion on which the
- IC package is mounted;
- a plurality of contact pins disposed on the socket body in substantially equal adjacent arrangement, each of said contact pins having one end to be connected to a terminal of the IC package and an other end to be connected to the printed board;
- and
- means provided for the socket body for widening a pitch interval between the other ends of adjacent contact pins so as to provide a predetermined distance therebetween,
- wherein said socket body is formed with a plurality of insertion holes through which said contact pins are inserted, each of said insertion holes having an inclination along an inserting direction of the contact pin at said one end of the contact pin so as to widen an interval between the other ends adjacent contact pins, the insertion holes being further extended vertically so as to be substantially in parallel to each other with the widened intervals being maintained.
