Abstract:
A connector for module that connects a module, which has a semiconductor chip mounted on a rectangular board and has a conductive pad on the front side of the board, to a printed circuit board in a position wherein the board plane is approximately parallel to the printed circuit board, said connector for module, comprising:a connector body having a receiving part that extends along the front side of the module being in the connection position, having a contact that is provided in the receiving part and contacts the conductive pad while allowing the pad to shift in the direction of insertion/withdrawal, and having a supporting part that extends rearward from the receiving part to carry the module being in the connection position and limits shifting of the module in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction;a metallic cover that is put over and is engaged to the connector body to sandwich the module between itself and the supporting part and keep the module in the connection position, having a window for exposing the semiconductor chip of the module being in the connection position; anda heat sink that is arranged to contact the semiconductor chip in the window and is connected to the metallic cover by a supporting structure that enables variation of the angle of fitting to the metallic cover.
