Abstract
The present invention discloses a protective carrier for a dual-in-line package (DIP) and a socket which receives the loaded carrier to electrically connect the leads on the DIP to circuits on a printed circuit board (PCB). More particularly, the protective carrier comprises a frame into which the DIP is secured. The socket consists of a housing with a row of contact terminals on each side. The carrier slides down over the housing whereby leads on the DIP within the carrier make contact with the terminals.
