Abstract
A zero insertion force (ZIF) socket comprises a dielectric base defining a number of contact receiving passageways for receiving a number of contacts therein and forming a pair of platforms outwardly extending from opposite lateral edges thereof, a slidable cover defining a number of pin receiving passageways for receiving corresponding pins of an IC package therein, and a resilient retention member received in one of the platforms of the base for locking the cover with the base in position thereby ensuring excellent electrical connection between the IC package and the ZIF socket.
