Abstract
An environmentally sealed chip carrier housing for mounting on a printed circuit board. The housing is formed of a dielectric material and comprises a base and an upstanding circular side wall, one surface of which is threadably configured for receipt of a cover member. The base is further provided with plural slots for receiving a like plurality of elongated elastomeric compressive type connectors, and support means for receiving a chip carrier thereon. A cover member is provided for threadably engaging the housing. The cover member is characterized by a top having a peripheral wall thereabout, where the top has a uniformly convex configuration such that the center portion is thicker than the outer portions thereof. By this arrangement, when the cover member is positioned over the housing containing a chip carrier to threadably engage the cover member with said housing, a uniform pressure is applied to said chip carrier, which in turn will exert a uniform pressure against the elastomeric compressive type connectors. Further, the chip carrier is environmentally sealed.
