Abstract
In the socket (41), a receiving section is formed by a circumferential wall (12) and a restricting section that defines the position of the counter module (M) when it is placed in the receiving section. The latching member (20) is formed by directly forming or attaching to the circumferential wall an elastic bar that extends in the circumferential direction of the circumferential wall. The latching member (20) has a securing section and a latching section (23) that elastically displaces outward of the circumferential wall by flexion of the elastic bar, and the securing section and the latching section are provided away from each other in the circumferential direction.
Claims17
A socket for an electronic module, comprising:
- a receiving section formed by a circumferential wall and a restricting section that defines a position of a counter module in said receiving section when said module is placed therein;
- a plurality of terminals arranged along said circumferential wall, each of said terminal having at one end a connecting section that can be connected to a circuit board and has at the other end a contact section that contacts with corresponding section of said module placed in said receiving section;
- a latching member, which is formed by directly forming or attaching onto said circumferential wall an elastic bar that extends in a circumferential direction of said circumferential wall;
- wherein said latching member has a securing section and a latching section that elastically displaces outward of said circumferential wall by flexion of said elastic bar, said securing section and said latching section are provided away from each other in the circumferential direction, said elastic bar elastically flexes and displaces by contacting with said module so as to enable reception of said module in said receiving section, and said latching section latches said module, said elastic flexing displacement being released or reduced when said module reaches a specified position in said receiving section.
