Electrical socket
Electrical sockets are essential elements of electrical connectors. An electrical socket constitutes the interface that enables transfer to a generic load of the level of AC. voltage of the electrical network to which the socket is connected. Socket contacts are designed to insure low and stable electrical resistance through the connector, as well as mechanical integrity for the connection. Electrical sockets of the two-conductor type normally found in conventional electrical wall receptacles and electrical extension cords generally include an insulated housing and a pair of transversely spaced, longitudinally elongate, electrically conductive, contact bars or strips therein. In three-conductor type sockets a grounded contact member is provided in addition to the transversely spaced contact bars. Socket contacts are designed to insure low and stable electrical resistance through the connector, as well as mechanical integrity for the connection. Electrical sockets may be used to secure microelectronic packages and/or integrated circuit devices, electrically and physically to a substrate, such as a system board, motherboard, or a printed circuit board, of an electronic system. An integrated circuit chip is commonly mounted to an electrical socket which then is secured to a circuit board via soldered connections between contacts of the socket and the circuit board. Normally one end of the socket terminates a cable conductor by using solder or some other technique. The other end is open and is adapted to receive a corresponding electrical pin contact such as a wire-wrap post which is mounted in a member for completing a circuit. By utilizing an electrical socket, procedures such as electrical testing can be performed without the need for soldering or otherwise fixing the electronic module within the circuit.
