A connector for module that connects a module to a
printed circuit board in a position wherein the board plane of the module is approximately parallel to the
printed circuit board. This connector comprises 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 are provided in the receiving part and contact 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
semiconductor chip of the module being in the connection position, and a
heat sink that is arranged to contact the
semiconductor chip in the windows and is connected to the metallic cover by a supporting structure that enables variation of the angle of fitting.This connector prevents defective connection or the like of the module due to
thermal load, etc., reduces the effects of electromagnetic
waves, etc. on the connector by its shielding function to maintain the operation of circuits stable, and cools the
semiconductor chip to maintain their operation stable.
