Abstract

An electrical connector for electrically connecting a chip module, including an insulating body, multiple terminals fixed to the insulating body, a stiffener surrounding the periphery of the insulating body, a carrier for carrying the chip module onto the insulating body, and a load plate for pressing the chip module. The terminals are used for electrically connecting the chip module. The stiffener has a first pivoting portion and a second pivoting portion. The first pivoting portion is located in front of the second pivoting portion, and the first pivoting portion and the second pivoting portion are located on the same side of the insulating body. A rear end of the carrier is pivoted to the first pivoting portion, and a rear end of the load plate is pivoted to the second pivoting portion.

First claim

a carrier for carrying the chip module onto the insulating body, wherein a rear end of the carrier is pivoted to the first pivoting portion; and
a load plate for pressing the chip module, wherein a rear end of the load plate is pivoted to the second pivoting portion,
wherein the carrier comprises:
a guide frame pivoted to the first pivoting portion; and
a clamping member for fixing the chip module;

wherein the guide frame has four edges defining an opening for receiving the chip module, a sliding rail is provided on each of two opposite sides of the opening, a side plate is provided on each of two opposite sides of the clamping member, and the two side plates are respectively carried on the two sliding rails and are slidable along the two sliding rails;
wherein when the clamping member is assembled on the guide frame and the guide frame moves towards a closing direction to be installed on the insulating body, the sliding rails are located on two opposite sides of the insulating body and located between the stiffener and the side plates; and
wherein an upper surface of each of the sliding rails is not higher than an upper surface of the insulating body.

2. The electrical connector of claim 1 , wherein a grasping portion protrudes forward from the clamping member, two sides of the grasping portion have grasp spaces, and the grasp spaces are in communication with the opening.

3. The electrical connector of claim 1 , wherein the load plate is provided with a through hole for receiving the chip module, a protrusion protrudes downward from the load plate, and at least a part of the protrusion is located at a corner of the through hole.

4. The electrical connector of claim 1 , wherein the load plate is provided with a through hole for receiving the chip module, a protrusion protrudes downward from the load plate, and at least a part of the protrusion is located in front of the through hole.

5. An electrical connector for electrically connecting a chip module, comprising:
an insulating body;
a plurality of terminals received in the insulating body, for electrically connecting the chip module;
a stiffener surrounding the periphery of the insulating body, wherein the stiffener has a first pivoting portion and a second pivoting portion, the first pivoting portion is located in front of the second pivoting portion, and the first pivoting portion and the second pivoting portion are located on a same side of the insulating body;
a carrier for carrying the chip module onto the insulating body, wherein a rear end of the carrier is pivoted to the first pivoting portion; and
a load plate for pressing the chip module, wherein a rear end of the load plate is pivoted to the second pivoting portion,
wherein the carrier comprises:
a guide frame pivoted to the first pivoting portion; and
a clamping member for fixing the chip module;

wherein the guide frame has four edges defining an opening for receiving the chip module, a sliding rail is provided on each of two opposite sides of the opening, a side plate is provided on each of two opposite sides of the clamping member, and the two side plates are respectively carried on the two sliding rails and are slidable along the two sliding rails;
wherein a first stopping portion is formed by extending upward from each of the sliding rails to be stopped to a side edge of corresponding one of the side plates, a second stopping portion is formed by extending horizontally from each of the first stopping portion, a front end of each of the first stopping portion is flush with a front end of corresponding one of the sliding rails, and the front end of each of the second stopping portion is not flush with the front end of corresponding one of the sliding rails; and
wherein a groove is concavely disposed from an upper surface of the side plate, the second stopping portion is stopped above the groove, and the second stopping portion is not higher than the upper surface of the side plate.

6. The electrical connector of claim 5 , wherein a front end of each of the second stopping portions has a guide surface for guiding the clamping member to be assembled to the guide frame.

7. The electrical connector of claim 5 , wherein a grasping portion protrudes forward from the clamping member, two sides of the grasping portion have grasp spaces, and the grasp spaces are in communication with the opening.

8. An electrical connector for electrically connecting a chip module, comprising:
an insulating body;
a plurality of terminals received in the insulating body, for electrically connecting the chip module;
a stiffener surrounding the periphery of the insulating body, wherein the stiffener has a first pivoting portion and a second pivoting portion, the first pivoting portion is located in front of the second pivoting portion, and the first pivoting portion and the second pivoting portion are located on a same side of the insulating body;
a carrier for carrying the chip module onto the insulating body, wherein a rear end of the carrier is pivoted to the first pivoting portion; and
a load plate for pressing the chip module, wherein a rear end of the load plate is pivoted to the second pivoting portion,
wherein the carrier comprises:
a guide frame pivoted to the first pivoting portion; and
a clamping member for fixing the chip module;

wherein the guide frame has four edges defining an opening for receiving the chip module, a sliding rail is provided on each of two opposite sides of the opening, a side plate is provided on each of two opposite sides of the clamping member, and the two side plates are respectively carried on the two sliding rails and are slidable along the two sliding rails; and
wherein the insulating body has a concave portion, the guide frame has a hook portion corresponding to the concave portion, and in a process that the carrier is installed to the insulating body downward, the hook portion cooperates with the concave portion to buckle the carrier to the insulating body.
