Abstract
Abstract An electrical connector socket is disclosed for mounting an integrated circuit package on a printed circuit board or wire wrap board, which circuit package consists of an integrated circuit, a housing and one or more leads extending from the housing. The socket comprises a base with one or more socket holes for receiving integrated circuit leads, an electrical contact member communicating with the socket for each lead, and at least one electrical contact pin for each lead extending from the base and positioned a substantial distance from its related socket hole. The contact pins are used to connect electrically the socket to the printed circuit board and are spaced a significant distance from their respective socket holes to provide alternative geometric as well as electrical connection points in laying out the design of the printed circuit board or wire wrap board.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
199 words
An integrated circuit electrical connector socket for mounting an integrated circuit package on a printed circuit board, said integrated circuit package comprising an integrated circuit, a flat rectangular housing for said circuit, and a plurality of electrical integrated circuit leads extending outwardly in a row along each of the longitudinal edges of said housing, said socket comprising in combination: a. a flat rectangular base having a plurality of socket holes arranged in two rows along the longitudinal axis of said base, each of said socket holes for receiving one of said integrated circuit electrical leads; b. a plurality of electrical contact members, one of each positioned within each of said socket holes for providing electrical contact with said integrated circuit electrical leads; c. a plurality of electrical contact pins afixed to said base, one of each associated with one of each of said socket holes, each positioned opposite said associated socket hole and adjacent to the longitudinal edge of said base farthest from said socket hole for providing electrical contact with said printed circuit board; and d. a plurality of electrical leads afixed to said base, each for connecting one of said associated contact members and said contact pins.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
199 words
An integrated circuit electrical connector socket for mounting an integrated circuit package on a printed circuit board, said integrated circuit package comprising an integrated circuit, a flat rectangular housing for said circuit, and a plurality of electrical integrated circuit leads extending outwardly in a row along each of the longitudinal edges of said housing, said socket comprising in combination: a. a flat rectangular base having a plurality of socket holes arranged in two rows along the longitudinal axis of said base, each of said socket holes for receiving one of said integrated circuit electrical leads; b. a plurality of electrical contact members, one of each positioned within each of said socket holes for providing electrical contact with said integrated circuit electrical leads; c. a plurality of electrical contact pins afixed to said base, one of each associated with one of each of said socket holes, each positioned opposite said associated socket hole and adjacent to the longitudinal edge of said base farthest from said socket hole for providing electrical contact with said printed circuit board; and d. a plurality of electrical leads afixed to said base, each for connecting one of said associated contact members and said contact pins.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
The apparatus of claim 1 including a second electrical contact pin connected to each of said contact members positioned directly adjacent to each of said socket holes.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said socket holes extend through said base whereby said integrated electrical circuit leads proceed downward through said socket holes to form a second electrical contact pin.
