Abstract
An electrical connector includes a contact carrier receiving a plurality of contacts with solder balls, respectively. A socket frame has an opening formed by a number of sidewalls, the contact carrier is disposed in the opening and lower than the sidewalls. A bottom support has a thin board located below and supported the contact carrier and the socket frame, and an aperture is formed by the thin board to allow the solder balls passing through thereof. The thin board of the bottom support at least attaches with the socket frame.
Claims20
An electrical connector comprising:
- a contact carrier assembling a plurality of contacts with solder balls, respectively;
- a socket frame having an opening formed by a plurality of sidewalls, the contact carrier being disposed in the opening and lower than the sidewalls;
- a bottom support having a thin board for supporting the contact carrier and the socket frame, an aperture formed on the thin board to allow the solder balls to pass therethrough;
- and wherein
- the thin board of the bottom support at least attaches with the socket frame.
An electrical connector for use with an electronic package, comprising:
- a contact carrier assembling a plurality of contacts with solder balls, respectively;
- a socket frame surrounding the contact carrier for receiving the electronic package;
- a bottom support attached with a bottom of the socket frame to prevent the socket frame from moving upwardly and downwardly in a vertical direction, and supporting the contact carrier to prevent the contact carrier from moving downwardly in the vertical direction.
An electric connector for use with an electronic package, comprising:
- an insulative contact carrier carrying a plurality of contacts therewith;
- a plurality of solder balls attached to bottom ends of the corresponding contacts, respectively;
- a socket frame surrounding said contact carrier circumferentially;
- a bottom support linked to a bottom side of the socket frame in an associative co-moving manner and further upwardly supporting a bottom side of the contact carrier while exposing said solder balls downwardly.
