Device for CPU socket actuation

A connector assembly, comprising:

• an electrical connector forming an ear portion at a side thereof;
• a central processing unit (CPU) having a top surface, a bottom surface and a side wall between the top surface and the bottom surface, the CPU being mounted on the connector beside the ear portion;
• and
• an actuation device positioned on the CPU and comprising a frame located on the top surface of the CPU, a plurality of claw portions extending substantially perpendicularly from edges of the frame along the side wall of the CPU toward the ear portion, and an actuation portion formed adjacent to the claw portion and extending from the edge of the frame in a direction from the CPU to the ear portion, wherein a recess is defined in the actuation portion for directly engaging with an actuating tool to drive the CPU to move over the connector, and when removing the actuating tool, the frame is urged away from the CPU simultaneously,
• wherein the frame comprises a base portion with two arm portions extending from opposite sides thereof;
• wherein the base portion and the arm portions are in the same plane;
• wherein the frame has at least one clip portion which extends from an edge of the frame and is perpendicular to the claw portion for positioning the actuation device securely on the CPU;
• wherein the actuating tool is a screwdriver with a shaft portion and a head portion formed thereon;
• wherein slots are opened in the bottom surface of the actuation portion for confining the head portion of the screwdriver within the recess;
• wherein the recess has an opening with a width larger than a thickness of the head portion of the screw driver.
