Abstract
A connector includes an insulative housing having opposite upper and lower surfaces with a plurality of passageways extending therethrough, and a plurality of contacts retained in the corresponding passageways, respectively. Each contact includes a primary part and a secondary part discrete from each other. The primary part includes a first main body with a first spring arm extend upwardly through the upper surface for mating with the CPU, and a first soldering section around the lower surface. The secondary part includes a second main body with a second spring arm contacting the first main body, and a second soldering section around the lower surface. A solder ball is attached to the first soldering section and/or the second soldering section.
Claims14
An electrical connector for connecting between a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) comprising:
- an insulative housing defining opposite upper and lower surfaces in a vertical direction;
- at least one passageway formed in the housing and extending through both the upper surface and the lower surface in the vertical direction;
- and
- at least one contact including a primary part and a secondary part both retained in the passageway, the primary part and the secondary part being discrete from while mechanically and electrically connected to each other;
- wherein
- the primary part includes a first spring arm with a contacting section for contacting the CPU, and at least one of the primary part and the secondary part includes a soldering leg with a soldering section with a solder ball thereon for mounting to the PCB;
- the secondary part forms a second spring arm contacting the first part;
- and
- the primary part includes a planar first main body and the secondary part includes a planar second main body opposite to and spaced apart from the planar first main body in a first horizontal direction perpendicular to the vertical direction.
An electrical connector for connection between a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a PCB (Printed Circuit Board), comprising:
- an insulative housing defining opposite upper and lower surfaces in a vertical direction;
