Abstract
A Central Processing Unit (CPU) socket having a circuit protection mechanism electrically couples a CPU to a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The heat sink fastener matches the supports positioned on two opposing sides of the main body for mounting the heat sink on the CPU socket tightly. The protection component protrudes the main body and covers the corresponding PCB trace under the supports to protect the PCB trace from damaged by the heat sink fastener as mounting or dismounting the heat sink on the CPU socket.
