Land grid array integrated circuit connector

An integrated circuit (IC) connector, comprising:

• a terminal stage comprising a plurality of terminal holes, a first wall and a second wall, the first wall comprising a first clamping groove and a second clamping groove, the second wall comprising a third clamper and a fourth clamper;
• a frame comprising a first wall and a second wall, and a bottom plate, the first wall comprising a first sleeve and a second sleeve, the bottom plate comprising a hollow and a first locker and a second locker being arranged at a first end of the hollow, a third locker and a fourth locker being formed at a second end of the hollow, such that when the terminal stage is fixedly mounted in the frame by engaging the third and the fourth clampers and the first and second clamping grooves with the first, the second, the third and the fourth lockers, respectively,
• a cover comprising a first end with a receiving pivot;
• and
• a pressing rod assembly comprising a pressing rod, a rod shalt arranged in the first and the second sleeves and a crank capped by the receiving pivot, such that when the pressing rod is operated to an open or a close direction the crank rotates the cover to open or close.

A land grid array integrated circuit (LGA IC) connector, comprising:

• a protection board comprising a plurality of dents;
• a plurality of spring elements arranged on the dents;
• and
• a terminal stage comprising a plurality of terminal holes and containing terminals therein;
• wherein the protection board is arranged in the terminal stage such that the spring elements are placed between the protection board and the terminal stage, and
• wherein the protection hoard comprises a first end wall and a second end wall, the first end wall and the second end wall comprise two tenons for locking into locking dents of the terminal stage.
