Abstract
An improved electrical connector is disclosed for mounting and electrically coupling an integrated circuit device to a circuit board. A resilient cover applies pressure at several points on a substrate on which the integrated circuit device is mounted to press the substrate against support surfaces in the connector base. Each of a plurality of flexible electrical contact elements extending from the support surfaces engages a corresponding conductive pad on the substrate with sufficient force to insure good electrical contact between the contact and the pad which is electrically coupled to the integrated circuit device by a conductive path on the substrate.
