Abstract
A pin socket carrier system is disclosed for positioning and mounting an array of pin receiving sockets to a planar electronic device, such as a printed circuit board (PCB). The system comprises a plurality of first drawn metal cup-shaped sockets having a closed end and an outwardly flanged open end, a like plurality of second drawn metal cylindrical sockets mounted at least partially in the first drawn metal cup-shaped sockets. Each of the second drawn metal cylindrical sockets is characterized at one end thereof by plural axial slots to define plural wall sections, where the wall sections are angled inwardly to electrically contact an electronic pin inserted therein, and at the opposite end by at least a first outwardly flared portion, where the first flared portion is configured to lie contiguous with at least a part of the outwardly flared open end. Finally a flexible plastic carrier strip, having a plurality of holes arranged in a predetermined pattern to receive and releasably retain the assembled sockets, is provided. The carrier strip, which is readily removable, is positioned between the outwardly flared open end and the first outwardly flared portion.
