Abstract
Disclosed is a connector for integrated circuit packages. The connector generally includes a cover assembly having a metal framework for fixedly securing the integrated circuit package without projecting pin elements of the package from the backside of the cover assembly in order to prevent the pin element from the damage and a socket assembly for mounting contact elements to connect with the pin elements. The framework is hinged to the cover assembly at one of the side edges thereof. The cover assembly can be combined with the socket assembly by means of the first engage portion of the cover assembly and the second engage portion of the socket assembly at the side edge opposed to the hinged side edge. After combination the hinged side edge of the cover assembly can be pressed against the socket assembly so as to connect the pin elements with the corresponding contact elements from the side edge having the engage portion towards the hinged side edge of the socket assembly one by one.
