Abstract
A socket assembly (10) includes a socket (1) and a pick up device (2) releasably mounted to the socket. The socket has a base (11) and a cover (12) slidably mounted on the base. The pick up device includes a cap (21) and a film member (22) adhered to the cap. The cap is releasably mounted to the cover of the socket and defines a pair of through slots (212). The film member is adhered to the top face (218) of the cap to cover the through slots for being manipulated by the vacuum suction device to position the CPU socket on a circuit board.
Claims1

- a socket having a base and a cover slidably mounted on the base;
- a cap mounted to the cover and defining a pair of through slots;
- and
- a thin film member attached to a top face of the cap and fully covering the through slots of tie cap to be manipulated by the vacuum suction device;
- wherein
- the film member is an airtight tape;
- wherein
- the film member has a size sufficient to cover said top face of said cap;
- wherein
- the cover defines a central opening and a pair of cutouts in opposite side edges and in communication with the central opening;
