Abstract
A socket connector includes a pair of spaced locking blocks fixed to a circuit board. A plurality of contact elements is mounted to the circuit board between the locking blocks. A cover is fixed to the locking blocks and spaced from the circuit board for movably receiving a slide plate therebetween. The cover retains a central processing unit (CPU) module thereon and defines a plurality of holes corresponding to the contact elements through which pins of the CPU module extend. The slide plate defines slots corresponding to the contact elements and the holes of the cover for partially receiving the pins and the contact elements therein whereby when the slide plate is moved to a predetermined position, electrical connection is established between each contact element and the corresponding pin of the CPU module for connecting the CPU module to the circuit board.
