Abstract
A fastener for securing a chip module onto a circuit board includes a fixing bracket mounted on the circuit board; a pressing frame covering the chip module; a lever having a driving portion and a shaft portion, wherein the shaft portion is formed by extending and bending from the driving portion, with the shaft portion running through the fixing bracket and the pressing frame for controlling the forward and backward rotation of the pressing frame; a protective cover mounted on the pressing frame, wherein a projection portion is formed on a bottom surface of the protective cover and located at the rear end of the chip module, and the projection portion has a slant surface adjacent to the chip module; and thereby, when the pressing frame moves forward, the slant surface presses against the chip module.

A fastener for securing a chip module onto a circuit board, comprising:
- a fixing bracket mounted on the circuit board;
- a pressing frame covering the chip module;
- a lever having a driving portion and a shaft portion, wherein the shaft portion bendingly extends from the driving portion, wherein the shaft portion of the lever is disposed through the fixing bracket and the pressing frame for controlling the forward and backward rotation of the pressing frame;
- and
- a protective cover having a top surface and a bottom surface mounted on the pressing frame, wherein a projection portion is formed on the bottom surface of the protective cover and located behind of the chip module, wherein the projection portion has a slant surface adjacent to the chip module;
- whereby when the pressing frame moves forward, the slant surface presses against the chip module.
An electric connector device for electrically coupling a chip module to a circuit board, comprising:
- a fixing bracket mounted on the circuit board;
- an electric socket mounted on the circuit board for receiving the chip module;
- a pressing frame covering the chip module;
- a lever having a driving portion and a shaft portion, wherein the shaft portion bendingly extends from the driving portion, wherein the shaft portion is disposed through the fixing bracket and the pressing frame for controlling the forward and backward rotation of the pressing frame;
- and
- a protective cover having a top surface and a bottom surface mounted on the pressing frame, wherein a projection portion is formed on the bottom surface of the protective cover and located behind the chip module, wherein the projection portion has a slant surface adjacent to the chip module;
- whereby when the pressing frame moves forward, the slant surface presses against the chip module.
