Abstract
An electrical connector for electrically connecting a modular circuit package such as a large scale integrated circuit package having a plurality of conductive interfaces with a printed circuit board. The connector includes a plurality of generally U-shaped resilient stressable terminals each having a bight-portion and two free ends defining a package contacting end which is adapted to engage one of the interfaces and a circuit contacting end which is adapted to engage one of the points of the printed circuit board. The terminals are mounted in an insulated housing. The housing includes a base member having a plurality of terminal receiving recesses for receiving and positioning the bight portion of each terminal against the side thereof. The housing also includes two generally U-cross section cover members, each of which is adapted to snap-fit over each side of the base member. In this manner, the terminals mounted in the recesses are trapped between the cover and the base member.
