Burn-in socket for gull wing integrated circuit package

An integrated circuit package socket includes an insulating housing having a plurality of side by side terminals profiled for receipt of a square package with leads extending therefrom. The socket also includes a camming member disposed above the housing which has a camming surface which contacts a portion of each of the terminals to move the terminals into and out of electrical engagement with the leads of the package. The camming member multiplies the force applied directly to the camming member to cause the desired rotation. Relaxation of the camming member causes a reverse rotation of the contacts into electrical engagement with the package leads.

Electrical connector capable of exerting a selectively variable contact force

An electrical connector for mating with a male contact of a mating connector is capable of exerting a selectively variable contact force. The electrical connector includes a conducing member having a lead and a contact beam electrically coupled to the lead. The contact beam is adapted to resiliently engage the male contact. The electrical connector further comprises a contact housing. At least a portion of the lead is disposed within the contact housing. At least a portion of the contact beam is disposed within the contact housing so that the contact beam is urged into and restrained by the contact housing when the contact beam resiliently engages the male contact. A contact force is thereby generated between the contact beam and the contact pin. The contact housing is capable of being selectively positioned in relation to the contact beam so that a point of restraint on the contact beam is selectively variable. The contact force between the contact beam and the male contact can thereby be varied on a selective basis.

Bracket having a recoverable door

A bracket is provided for receiving an external electrical device. The bracket comprises a dielectric frame and a door rotatably positioned on the dielectric frame by a shaft traversing the door. The shaft terminates as a cam portion at each distal end thereof. A metal shielding is fixingly attached to the dielectric frame and comprises a spring arm proximating to the cam portion of the door. The cam portion of the door is rotated to deform the spring arm of the metal shielding when the external electric device is inserted into the bracket from the door.

Electrical socket for substrates

An electrical socket for substrates and particularly ceramic substrates. More particularly, the socket includes a U-shaped receptacle and a mounting section for attaching the receptacle to the substrate. The mounting section is attached to one leg of the receptacle and includes a solder foot for being soldered to a circuit pad on the substrate.

Electrical connector with grounding system

An electrical connector (10) comprising a housing (12) and electrical contacts (32, 34) connected to the housing (12). The electrical contacts (32, 34) comprise paired signal and ground contacts, and additional ground contacts (34a). The additional ground contacts (34a) are arranged relative to the paired contacts to divide the paired contacts into subdivisions of equal numbers of the paired contacts. The subdivisions and the additional ground contacts (34a) are arranged to allow for multiple relative orientation connections of a mating connector (100).

Printed circuit board stiffener assembly

A stiffener assembly for mechanically supporting the main body of an electrical connector to a circuit substrate, such as a daughterboard Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The PCB stiffener assembly is utilized to minimize bowing in the PC Board. The stiffener assembly includes a two-piece or split body having a top clamp and a bottom channel. A latch formed on the top clamp fits over and connectively engages a retention structure disposed on a rear surface of the connector housing. A bottom portion of the top clamp is disposed with in the bottom channel. The bottom channel rests on the PCB and the legs of the bottom channel extend upward form the surface of the PCB. One leg of the bottom channel rest against the rear panel and fits under the retention structure. Fasteners pass through the PCB and the bottom channel and engage the top clamp thereby retaining the connector on the PCB. The stiffener assembly simultaneously aligns one or more connector modules to one another creating a one piece "mo no- block" like effect while at the same time acting to stiffen the PCB thereby reducing any PCB bowing. The two-piece stiffener assembly allows for individual connector modules to be removed from the PCB by simply removing the top clamp portion of the PCB stiffener assembly. The stiffener provides a mechanism for mechanically supporting the main body of a connecto r module to a daughterboard PCB in a manner that is easy to manufacture and cost effectiv e.

Electrical connector capable of exerting a selectively variable contact force

An electrical connector (11) for mating with a male contact of a mating connector is capable of exerting a selectively variable contact force. The electrical connector (11) includes a conducting member (20) having a lead (26) and a contact beam (24a, 24b) electrically coupled to the lead (26). The contact beam (24a, 24b) is adapted to resiliently engage the male contact. The electrical connector (11) further comprises a contact housing (15). At least a portion of the lead (26) is disposed within the contact housing (15). At least a portion of the contact beam (24a, 24b) is disposed within the contact housing (15) so that the contact beam (24a, 24b) is urged into and restrained by the contact housing (15) when the contact beam (24a, 24b) resiliently engages the male contact. A contact force is thereby generated between the contact beam (24a, 24b) and the contact pin (28). The contact housing (15) is capable of being selectively positioned in relation to the contact beam (24a, 24b) so that a point of restraint on the contact beam (24a, 24b) is selectively variable. The contact force between the contact beam (24a, 24b) and the male contact can thereby be varied on a selective basis.

High density electrical connector assembly with reduced insertion force

An electrical connector assembly includes an electrical receptacle connector ( 100; 300 ) and an electrical header connector ( 200; 400 ). The electrical receptacle connector includes an insulative housing ( 110; 310 ), a number of wafers ( 130; 350 ) accommodated in the insulative housing, and a number of inner printed circuit boards ( 120; 320 ). Each wafer has a wafer body ( 131; 3113 ), a number of signal contacts ( 132; 330 ) and a grounding bus ( 133; 340 ). Each inner printed circuit board has a mounting portion ( 124; 324 ) extending between two adjacent wafers to electrically contact with the signal contacts and the grounding buses and a mating portion ( 123; 323 ). The electrical header connector has an insulative housing ( 210; 410 ) and a number of wafers ( 220; 440 ) accommodated in the insulative housing to receive therebetween and electrically contact with the mating portions of the inner printed circuit boards of the electrical receptacle connector.

Contact for electrical connector

A contact ( 1 ) for use with an electrical connector ( 2 ) for interconnecting a daughter board ( 4 ) and a mother board ( 3 ) in a mutually perpendicular relation, comprises a body portion ( 10 ) having an upper arm ( 12 ) and a lower arm ( 14 ). The upper arm extends in a first direction which is generally parallel to an axial direction of the body portion and the daughter board. The lower arm extends in a second direction which is generally perpendicular to the upper arm. The lower arm has a free end for engaging with the mother board. The upper arm has a free end with a curved edge ( 222 ) for engaging with the daughter board. The curved edge works in a plane that is mutually perpendicular to the first and second directions, facing the first direction. The contact has a body portion from which the upper and lower arms extend. The lower arm has a curved portion ( 16 ) which connects and offsets from the body portion. The curved portion moves in the third direction, facing the first direction.
