Abstract
A surface mounting socket suitable for use with dual in-line circuit packages and printed circuit boards adapted only for surface mounting is disclosed. The socket has a plurality of terminals each having perpendicular sections which form a compliant termination to a surface mounting pad on the printed circuit board. Each terminal is compliant about a longitudinal force along two orthogonal axes and is compliant in response to a torsional moment about a third orthogonal axis.
