A receptacle for an electrical connector which comprises an elongated insulative housing having parallel lateral walls, parallel end walls and base wall. An interior cavity is formed by those walls, and a longitudinal groove extends between the longitudinal walls from adjacent one of said end walls to the other end wall. At least one conductive contact having a base end and a distal end extends upwardly through the base wall and then in the interior cavity. A wafer having a hardness greater than the base wall is positioned beneath the base wall to enhance dimensional stability of the receptacle in a vertical or other direction perpendicular to the substrate on which the receptacle is mounted.
A receptacle for an electrical connector comprising:
A receptacle for an electrical connector comprising:
A method for mounting an electrical connector having an insulative housing having a hardness on a substrate to minimize dimensional instability in a direction perpendicular to the substrate comprising the step of interposing a wafer having a hardness between the electrical connector and the substrate, wherein the hardness of the wafer is greater than the hardness of the insulative housing.
