Abstract :
A high density ZIF connector for LSI packages with a new structure of lead and wire-to-board connection has been developed. The outline of the prototype connector for the LSI package is as follows: 1.) contact spacing - 0.5 mm grid; 400 contacts (9.5×9.5 mm). 2.) Connectors size: 11 mm high; 18 mm×26 mm (mounting area). The principle of this mechanism, as well as two applications examples are herein introduced. In addition, the results of various test procedures performed on contacts and pins are included
