Abstract
A socket connector assembly, adapted for electrically connecting an IC package and a printed circuit board, comprises an insulative housing, a cover plate, a heat pipe retainer with two heat pipes, and a plurality of fastening members. The insulative housing defines a space for the IC package. The heat pipe retainer with the heat pipes are seated on the IC package received in the insulative housing. The cover plate is upon the heat pipe retainer. The heat pipe retainer is formed with a dowel pin in a center thereof, and the cover plate is formed with a hole receiving the dowel pin, so that the heat pipe retainer is flexibly orientated and can rotates around the hole. The cover plate defines at least one first pressing finger downward pressing an upper surface of the heat pipe retainer so as to exert downward force evenly to a heat pipe retainer therefore preventing potential warpage of the heat pipe.
