Title: Lead-receiving socket, multi-socket assembly incorporating same and method of effecting circuit interconnections therewith

Abstract: An auxiliary socket assembly (25) includes an array of sockets (10 or 70) supported within a plastic block (21). Each socket (10 or 70) includes an outer conductive shell (12 or 72) having an upper tubular portion (13 or 73) within which a pre-formed solder insert (26 or 76) is confined and a lower portion formed into a male-type pin (14 or 74) with a selective plating of gold (16 or 74a) thereon. An aligned primary socket (46) which includes an upper female portion (56) and an insert (61) having gold-plated contacts (61a) releasably receives the male-type pin (14 or 74). The primary socket (46) also includes a lower pin portion (58) which is to be positioned within an aligned hole (63) in a circuit board (41) and soldered to a printed circuit (66) formed thereon.
