Abstract
A socket connector ( ) for electrically interconnecting a CPU package and a PCB includes a base ( ), a cover ( ) slidably mounted on the base, an actuator mechanism ( ) sandwiched between the cover and the base, and a plurality of terminals ( ) received in the base. The base defines a first actuator channel ( ) and an array of terminal-passages ( ) for receiving the terminals therein. The cover defines a second actuator channel ( ), corresponding to the first actuator channel. The first and second actuator channels form mating members ( ), respectively. The actuator mechanism includes a shaft ( ), and a handle lever ( ) extending perpendicularly from one end of the shaft. The shaft defines mating means ( ) mating with the mating members to keep the handle lever from unduly rotating.
