Abstract:
A land grid array connector for electrically connecting between a first electrical device and a second electrical device, the land grid array connector comprising:an insulative rectangular housing defining a plurality of passageways therein for respectively receiving a resilient contact therein which has a first end electrically contacting with the first electrical device and a second end electrically contacting with the second electrical device;the insulative housing having a body portion and four raised sides extending upward from the body portion, thereby defining a central cavity between the four raised sides for receiving the first electrical device;at least a first resilient arm and a second resilient arm being formed in respective adjacent raised sides for fittingly engaging the first electrical device in the central cavity;wherein each passageway is defined through a bottom of the central cavity and comprises a relatively wide longitudinal hole and a relatively narrow longitudinal hole substantially perpendicular to and communicating with the relatively wide longitudinal hole;wherein the relatively wide longitudinal hole has an axis substantially parallel to a diagonal line of the insulative housing;wherein the relatively wide longitudinal hole has one end thereof formed with a depression.
