A socket is disclosed for a tape carrier package (10) having a plurality of leads (6) extending across an aperture (8) in a tape carrier (2). The socket includes a cover (14) having a tape mounting surface (44) and a plurality of ribs (30) protruding from the tape mounting surface. The ribs are arranged to extend through the aperture (8) and to straddle the leads (6) when the tape carrier package (10) is disposed on the tape mounting surface (44). The cover (14) is matable with a housing (12) holding a plurality of contacts (20). The ribs (30) straddle and guide the leads (6) into engagement with respective contacts (20) as the cover is mated with the housing. A socket for a tape carrier package (110) is also disclosed. The socket includes a cover (114) having a tape mounting surface including an undersurface (144) and an inclined surface (148). A plurality of ribs (130) which protrude from the inclined surface (148) are arranged to straddle leads (106) of the tape carrier package (110) and to guide the leads into engagement with respective contacts (120) in a housing (112). A ring member (150) mounts to the cover (114) and is securable by latches to hold the tape carrier package on the cover.
