Abstract
An electrical socket for a magnetic bubble memory and which is operative to retain the memory in proper electrical contact even in the presence of vibrational and other external forces to which the memory may be subjected during use. The socket comprises a base adapted for mounting on a circuit board and having an array of electrical spring contacts matable with the contacts of a bubble memory module. A cover assembly is pivotally attached to the base and includes a pair of latch arms movable to a closed position to urge the memory module into intimate electrical contact with the socket terminals, the arms being retained in closed position by latches associated with the base. The socket can be electrically grounded via the cover assembly.
