Abstract
There is provided an apparatus for connecting an electrical component, such as a chip carrier to a printed circuit board. The connector is made up of a housing having a recess for receiving the chip carrier. The housing also contains a passage in which strips of elastomeric elements are fitted. When a chip carrier is positioned within the connector, contact is made between the chip carrier and the elastomeric elements at the lateral sides of the chip carrier. The elastomeric element strips also make contact with the printed circuit board to effect electrical connections between the chip carrier and the printed circuit board.
