Dual Read Single In-Line Memory Modulus Sockets for High-Speed Electrical Applications

摘要

The present invention includes a single in-stained housing including an elongated insulating housing 12 having a longitudinal slot 14 for receiving modulus and a slot 16 for holding a signal terminal 13 and a ground terminal 15. A dual read socket 10 for making electrical connection with electrically insulated traces on opposite surfaces of a line memory modulus. Terminals 13 and 15 have connecting springs 64 which project into modulus accommodating slots 14 for connection to modulus traces. The housing 12 has a center wall 28 that houses the ground plane 81. The signal terminal 13 is insulated from the ground plane 81 by the wall of the ground plane receiving slot 28, while this wall has an opening 92, wherein the connecting member of the signal terminal protrudes through the opening. Is electrically connected to the ground plane. The signal terminal 13 has leads 36a and 36b and the ground plane 81 has a lead 85. The lead of the signal terminal and the ground plane is inserted through the hole 82 on the mother card substrate 80 and connected to the signal conductor and the ground conductor on the substrate 80, respectively.
