An electrical connector includes an insulating body. Multiple terminals are accommodated in the insulating body. A base is located at a periphery of the insulating body and provided with a first pivoting portion and a second pivoting portion, both located behind the insulating body. A guide frame is pivotally connected to the first pivoting portion, so that the guide frame rotates between a closed position and an open position relative to the base. The guide frame is provided with a limiting section, and two sliding rails are arranged at left and right sides thereof correspondingly. A carrier is supported on upper surfaces of the slide rails, slides in the sliding rails and rotates along with the guide frame. When the guide frame rotates from the closed position to the open position, an engaging portion abuts the limiting section to limit the guide frame from continuing rotating.

An example semiconductor assembly can include a hingeably-coupled component that receives a semiconductor board. In some examples, the component can be hingeably rotated to an open position to receive the semiconductor board. In some examples, the component can be hingeably detached from the assembly to receive the semiconductor board.

An electrical connector used for connecting an chip module to a printed circuit board includes an insulating housing, a number of terminals and a cover. The insulating housing includes a body portion. The terminals are insert molded in the body portion. The body portion includes an upper face and a lower face. Each of the terminals includes a first soldering portion extending upwardly beyond the upper face and a second soldering portion extending downwardly beyond the lower face. The cover covers the insulating housing. The electrical connector has a simple structure and a simple manufacturing process.

An electrical connector, used for electrically connecting a chip module to a circuit board, comprising: an insulating body, provided with a plurality of accommodating openings; and a plurality of terminals, correspondingly accommodated in the accommodating openings respectively, wherein each terminal has a connection portion, two sides of the connection portion bend and extend to form a first clamping arm and a second clamping arm, respectively, the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm together clamp a solder material, the first clamping arm has a first upper edge and a first lower edge arranged opposite to each other, and the length of the first upper edge is not equal to the length of the first lower edge. Under conditions of not increasing the length of a metal billet, the length of the first upper edge is increased, and the length of the first lower edge is decreased.

An electrical connector for electrically connecting a chip module, including an insulating body provided with multiple accommodating grooves in multiple rows and vertically passing through the insulating body. Each two adjacent accommodating grooves are provided with a partition or a space above the partition. The insulating body is concavely provided downward with at least one groove correspondingly located on the partition or in the space above the partition. The groove has a bottom surface and a side surface being closed and formed by extending upward from a periphery of the bottom surface, and the groove is configured for a pushing pin to push and eject the insulating body from a mold. The insulating body is protrudingly provided upward with a plurality of protruding blocks, configured to support the chip module. The groove and all the protruding blocks are not located on the same partition.

Examples disclosed herein relate to an electrical connector interfacing a solid conductor and a liquid conductor. One example provides a connector for connecting to a liquid metal circuit element, the connector having a body defining a channel configured to contain a liquid metal, the body being configured to interface mechanically with the liquid metal circuit element, and a conductive path disposed within the channel and exposed to an interior of the channel to form a first electrical interface configured to interface with the liquid metal circuit element, the conductive path also comprising a second electrical interface.

An electrical connector is used for electrically connecting a chip module to a circuit board, and includes a body for upward supporting the chip module. The body is provided with multiple accommodating holes. Multiple terminals are respectively accommodated in the accommodating holes correspondingly. Each terminal is provided with at least one soldering portion in contact with a solder and being soldered to the circuit board. A first portion and a second portion are formed by extending upward from the at least one soldering portion and are located at two opposite sides of the solder. An elastic arm bends upward and extends from the second portion for abutting the chip module. When the chip module presses the elastic arm downward, the elastic arm abuts the first portion. Therefore, two conductive paths are formed in parallel to each other.

An electrical connector includes an insulating body. Multiple terminals are accommodated in the insulating body. A base is located at a periphery of the insulating body and provided with a first pivoting portion and a second pivoting portion, both located behind the insulating body. A guide frame is pivotally connected to the first pivoting portion, so that the guide frame rotates between a closed position and an open position relative to the base. The guide frame is provided with a limiting section, and two sliding rails are arranged at left and right sides thereof correspondingly. A carrier is supported on upper surfaces of the slide rails, slides in the sliding rails and rotates along with the guide frame. When the guide frame rotates from the closed position to the open position, an engaging portion abuts the limiting section to limit the guide frame from continuing rotating.

An adapter apparatus and methods for using in providing such adapter apparatus include providing a substrate having a plurality of openings defined therethrough. A plurality of conductive elements are mounted within corresponding openings thereof using a flowable and curable laminate material.
