IC socket
An IC socket includes a socket body with a plurality of contacts disposed therein, a lid pivotably coupled to the socket body, a pushing member connected to the lid, and a heat sink fixed to said pushing member and being movable in a height direction relative to the lid. Because of being fixed to the pushing member, the heat sink can move with the pushing member and keep pressing on an IC chip in the case, for example, the changing of the thickness or position of the IC chip.
1. An IC socket comprising:
a socket body with a plurality of contacts disposed therein;
a lid pivotably coupled to said socket body;
a pushing member connected to the lid; and
a heat sink fixed to said pushing member and being movable in a height direction relative to said lid;
wherein a plurality of holes are respectively formed in a pair of side walls of the lid and on a pair of the periphery faces of the pushing member, and a plurality of poles are inserted to said holes respectively.
2. The IC socket according to claim 1 , wherein each of said poles is formed with a first part retained in the hole in the periphery face of said pushing member, and a second part retained in the hole in the side walls of said lid, the second part being thicker than the first part.
3. The IC socket according to claim 2 , wherein said hole in the periphery face of said pushing member is formed with an ellipse configuration.
4. The IC socket according to claim 1 , wherein said heat sink has four legs with a positioning hole respectively, and is fixed to said pushing member via four screws, each of the saews engaging witn a coil spring.
5. The IC socket according to claim 1 , wherein said pushing member has a round recess with four small recesses formed therefrom, said heat sink being partly contained in said round recess with four legs retained in said small recesses respectively.
6. The IC socket according to claim 5 , wherein said pushing member has a bottom wall with a cutout and said heat sink comprises a touching portion extending through the cutout.
7. An IC socket, comprising:
a socket body with a plurality of contacts disposed therein;
a lid pivotably coupled to said socket body:
a pushing member connected to the lid; and
a heat sink fixed to said pushing member and being movable in a height direction relative to said lid:
wherein a plurality of through holes are formed in said socket body and said lid, and a shaft is inserted into said holes to achieve the rotatable connection between the lid and the socket body; wherein
said heat sink is in a floating manner in said height direction relative to the pushing member.
8. The IC socket according to claim 6 , wherein each of said poles is formed with a first part retained in the hole in the periphery face of said pushing member, and a second part retained in the hole in the side walls of said lid, the second part being thicker than the first part.
9. The IC socket according to claim 8 , wherein said hole in the periphery face of said pushing member is formed with an ellipse configuration.
10. The IC socket according to claim 6 , wherein said heat sink has four legs with a positioning hole respectively, and is fixed to said pushing member via four screws, each of the screws engaging with a coil spring.
11. The IC socket according to claim 6 , wherein said pushing member has a round recess with four small recesses formed therefrom said heat sink being partly contained in said round recess with four legs retained in the small recesses.
