Abstract:
An electrical connector comprising a plate-like body adapted to be mounted to a circuit board by means of soldering, the body having first and second thermal expansion coefficients in first and second directions thereof and first and second elongate members fixed to the body, the first and second elongate members having third and fourth thermal expansion coefficients different from each other, the first and second elongate members being respectively arranged in the first and second directions of the body whereby when the body is subject to a heating process and expands, the first and second elongate members limit and control thermal expansion of the body in the first and second directions to be substantially equal to each other;wherein a pair of the first elongate members is arranged on opposite sides of the body, and wherein a pair of the second elongate members is arranged on other opposite sides of the body substantially normal to the first elongate members;wherein the first and second elongate members are interconnected together;wherein the elongate members are embedded in and integrated with the body.
