Abstract
A unique socket assembly is designed to interconnect a flat-pack-packaged integrated-circuit chip to a printed-circuit board in a manner that permits easy insertion and withdrawal of the packaged chip from the assembly. A base portion of the assembly includes a recess into which conductive cantilevered elements extend. When the packaged chip is positioned on these elements within the recess and a lid is placed on the base, secure but not permanent electrical contact is established between the elements and contact regions on the chip package.
