Abstract:
An electronic component connector comprising:an insulating housing;an indentation in said insulating housing for receiving an electronic component;a first connection section exposed on said inner bottom surface of said indentation;a second connection section exposed on said inner bottom surface of said indentation;a cover closeable over said electronic component in said indentation and effective for producing a downward force on said electronic component;said second connection section being an annulus having a second radius relative to a center of said indentation;said first connection section being disposed within said annulus at a first radius relative to said center;said electronic component having first and second resiliently urged contacts at a surface thereof facing a bottom of said indentation;said first contact being disposed, when said electronic component is contained in said indentation, at said first radius, whereby electrical contact is enabled with said first connection section; andsaid second contact being disposed, when said electronic component is contained in said indentation, at said second radius, whereby electrical contact is enabled with said second connection section, whereby installation of said electronic component in said indentation is independent of a rotational orientation of said electronic component with respect to said insulating housing.
