Abstract
An electrical socket connector comprises a base (11), a cover (12) movably mounted on the base, and a fastening means (14). The base has a contact receiving portion (111) and a first protruding section (110) at one end thereof. A plurality of conductive contacts are received into the contact receiving portion of the base and each contact has a solder ball (112) attached thereon. The fastening means is assembled on the first protruding section of the base and at least has a soldering portion (141). The soldering portion and the solder balls are soldered on a PCB.
Claims12
An electrical socket connector for being soldered on a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising:
- a base having a plurality of passageways defined therethrough and a first protruding section formed at one end thereof;
- a plurality of conductive contacts received in the passageways of the base and each contact having a solder ball attached thereon;
- a cover being movably mounted on the base;
- and
- at least a fastening means assembled on the first protruding section of the base and having at least a soldering portion, the soldering portion and the solder balls being soldered on the PCB.
An electrical socket connector assembly comprising:
- an electrical socket connector comprising a base having a plurality of passageways defined therethrough and a protruding section at one end thereof, a plurality of conductive contacts being received in the passageways of the base and each having a solder ball attached thereon, a cover being movably mounted on the base;
- a printed circuit board for soldering the electrical socket connector thereon;
- and
- a fastening means being fixed on the PCB and comprising a vertical portion, a first and a second horizontal portions extending from opposite ends of the vertical portion, the first horizontal portion being soldered on the PCB and the second horizontal portion extending toward the socket connector and abutting against an upper surface of the cover.
An electrical socket connector assembly comprising:
- a printed circuit board;
- a base seated on the printed circuit board and defining a plurality of passageways and a protrusion section at one end thereof;
- a plurality of contacts disposed in the corresponding passageways, respectively, each of said contacts including at a lower end thereof a solder ball soldered on the printed circuit board;
- a cover attached unto the base and moveable relative to the base in a front-to-back direction;
- a cam located in said protrusion section;
- and
- at least one solder pad retainably horizontally located on an underside of the protrusion section and soldered unto the printed circuit board so as to provide said protrusion section with support on the printed circuit board in a vertical direction perpendicular to said front-to-back direction.
