Patent ID: 7816929

Claim:
A socket connected to an electronic device, the socket comprising: a probe to be connected with the electronic device; a plurality of heatsink plates adjacent to a local heat-generating portion distributed unevenly in the probe, the heatsink plates comprising a through hole communicating with an air layer, wherein the air layer lies between the heatsink plates and the heat-generating portion in the probe, so that the heatsink plates move heat absorbed from the heat-generation portion in the probe via the air layer to a heatsink area by heat conduction, wherein the plurality of heatsink plates are stacked in layers and disposed to form a slit, wherein cooling air is supplied to the slit in a plane direction of the heatsink plates; a plurality of probe alignment plates penetrated by the probes and aligning the probes; and a plurality of spacers formed of an insulating board, wherein a laminated layer stacking alternately the heatsink plates and the spacers is formed in a space between the probe alignment plates.
