Socket connector with actuator mechanism mating means

A socket connector comprising:

• a base defining a first actuator receiving section and a terminal receiving section;
• a cover defining a second actuator receiving section aligned with the first actuator receiving section, and a pin extending section align with the terminal receiving section;
• a plurality of terminals located in said terminal receiving section;
• an actuator mechanism including a handle lever and a shaft received in said first actuator receiving section and said second actuator receiving section;
• said first actuator receiving section defining a first plane and a second plane angled with each other;
• said second actuator receiving section defining a first face and a second face angled with each other;
• said actuator defining a first surface and a second surface angled with each other;
• wherein
• when said cover is in an open position with regard to the base, said first surface abuts against the first plane and said second surface abuts against the first face;
• when said cover is in a closed position with regard to the base, said first surface abuts against the second plane and said second surface abuts against the second face, wherein said first plane and said first face are parallel to each other, and said second plane and said second face are parallel to each other.

A socket connector comprising:

• a base defining a first actuator receiving section and a terminal receiving section;
• a cover defining a second actuator receiving section vertically aligned with the first actuator receiving section, and a pin extending section vertically aligned with the terminal receiving section;
• a plurality of terminals located in said terminal receiving section;
• an actuator mechanism including a handle lever and a shaft received in said first actuator receiving section and said second actuator receiving section;
• and
• said first actuator receiving section defining a first plane and a second plane angled with each other and facing the shaft clockwise and counterclockwise respectively;
• wherein
• said shaft defines a first portion abutting against the first plane when said cover is in an open position relative to the base;
• said shaft defines a second portion abutting against the second plane when said cover is in a closed position relative to the base, wherein said first plane and said second plane are angled with each other at 90 degrees.
