Abstract
An electrical connector (100) electrically connects a chip of a first width. The electrical connector includes an insulative housing (2), a number of contacts (3), a connecting member (4), and an actuator (5) mounted on the insulative housing. The connecting member has a connecting region electrically connectable with the chip. The connecting region has a second width not less than the first width. The actuator is formed with a pair of first side walls (51) and a pair of restricting portions (514) respectively protruding inwardly from the pair of first side walls. The pair of restricting portions are spaced a distance substantially equal to the second width to guidingly restrict the chip in the connecting region.
Claims15
An electrical connector for electrically connecting a chip of a first width, comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a plurality of contact recesses;
- a plurality of contacts inserted in the contact recesses;
- a connecting member mounted on the insulative housing and having a connecting region electrically connectable with the chip, said connecting region having a second width not less than the first width;
- and
- an actuator moveably assembled to the insulative housing, said actuator being formed with a pair of first side walls and a pair of restricting portions respectively protruding inwardly from the pair of first side walls, the pair of restricting portions being spaced a distance substantially equal to the second width to guidingly restrict the chip in the connecting region.
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a plurality of contact recesses;
- a plurality of contacts disposed in the corresponding contact recesses, respectively;
- a connecting member mounted upon the housing and defining a plurality of slits in alignment with the corresponding contact recesses, respectively, to allow the corresponding contacts to extend thereinto;
- an actuator up and down moveably mounted upon the connecting member and defining a plurality of contact slots in alignment with the corresponding contact recesses and slits, respectively;
- the connecting member defining a plurality of periphery walls to define an electronic component receiving cavity with a pair of cutouts formed in two opposite side periphery walls;
- the actuator including a pair of corresponding side walls with thereon a pair of protrusions received in the corresponding cutouts;
- wherein
- each of the periphery walls defines an upper oblique guiding section and a lower vertical section for stationary guidable reception of an electronic component in the electronic component receiving cavity, and each of the protrusions defines an upper oblique guiding portion and lower vertical portion for dynamic guidable reception of the electronic component in the electronic component receiving cavity.
