An electrical connector for positioning a heat sink assembled on the electrical connector and for soldering to a substrate, comprising:
- an insulating housing;
- a plurality of electrical contacts received in the insulating housing;
- and
- a position member assembled to the insulating housing;
- wherein
- the position member includes an interlock member and a soldering member assembled to the interlock member, the interlock member includes an assembling portion and an extending portion extending upwardly from the assembling portion for hooking with the heat sink, the soldering member includes a body portion and a pair of soldering portions extending downwardly from the body portion for soldering to the substrate;
- wherein
- the insulating housing comprises a main portion, a support member extending from the main portion and a block extending from the support member, and there is a space between the main portion and the block for receiving the position member.
An electrical connector for positioning a heat sink assembled on the electrical connector and for soldering to a substrate, comprising:
- an insulating housing;
- a plurality of electrical contacts received in the insulating housing;
- and
- a position member assembled to the insulating housing;
- wherein
- the position member includes an interlock member for hooking with the heat sink and a soldering member assembled to the interlock member for soldering to the substrate, the soldering member is made of copper material and plated with tin material, the interlock member is made of stainless steel;
- wherein
- the insulating housing comprises a main portion, a support member extending from the main portion and a block extending from the support member, and there is a space between the main portion and the block for receiving the position member.
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing defining an upward mating port facing to an exterior in a vertical direction;
- a plurality of contacts disposed in the housing with contacting sections exposed in the mating port;
- a pair of position members secured respectively to two opposite ends of the housing in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to said vertical direction, each of said position members including an interlocking member and a soldering member assembled to each other, the interlocking member including a lower assembling portion secured to the housing and an upper hook for locking a heat sink, and the soldering member including at least one soldering portion for surface mounting to a printed circuit board;
- wherein
- said interlocking member and said soldering member are discrete from each other with different materials;
- wherein
- both said interlocking member and said soldering member are made from a sheet structure, and the housing defines a slot with a width similar to a sum of thicknesses of both said interlocking member and said soldering member.
