Electrical connector assembly

An electrical connector assembly comprising:

• a printed circuit board (PCB);
• an electrical connector mounted upon the PCB in a vertical direction, and including an insulative housing with a receiving cavity therein for receiving a central processing unit (CPU), and a plurality of conductive contacts disposed in the housing, each of said contacts including a resilient contacting section extending into the receiving cavity, and a soldering section secured to the PCB;
• and
• an interposer including a main body received within the receiving cavity and adapted to be located under CPU, and at least one extension extending from the main body in a longitudinal direction and located outside of the housing;
• wherein
• the contacts are electrically and mechanically connected to the main body in the vertical direction while some connection points are formed on the extension.

• an interposer extending in a rigid horizontal manner and including a main body received in the receiving cavity and mechanically and electrically connected to the contacting sections of the corresponding contacts, and at least one extension extending from said main body in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to said vertical direction and located outside of the housing;
• wherein
• a plurality of connection points are formed on the extension for connecting to an external component.
