Abstract
A chip carrier socket which includes conductive contacts each having an outwardly extending upwardly directed cantilevered projection which engages a moveable top forming a part of the socket. The top, when moved downwardly, relative to the base of the socket which carries the contacts forces the contacts outwardly to allow the insertion or removal of the chip carrier. The top includes a multiple-angled camming surface which engages the upwardly extending cantilevered projection of each contact to apply a more generally even force against the contact during depression or downward movement of the top.
