Abstract
A connector is disclosed for mounting integrated circuit packages onto a printed circuit board or the like. The connector has a housing which is mounted on the printed circuit board and secured thereto by the terminals it carries in at least one row of aligned and spaced apart terminals. A terminal actuating insert is mounted in the housing for each row of terminals and positioned to act directly upon the terminals of that row. The connector also includes an actuating retainer or cover member which is applied after the integrated circuit package is placed into the housing. The actuating retainer or cover member acts on the inserts to cause the terminals to be closed about the leads of the integrated circuit package and also rests against the integrated circuit package to secure it in the housing.
