Abstract:
1. An electrical connector for electrically connecting a central processing unit (CPU) to a printed circuit board (PCB), comprising: an insulating housing comprising a top surface, a bottom surface opposite to each other in an up-to-down direction and a plurality of receiving holes running through the top and bottom surfaces, the dimension from the top surface to the bottom surface in the up-to-down direction defined as the height of the insulating housing, a plane on half the height of the insulating housing defined as the centre plane of the insulating housing; and a plurality of contacts received in the receiving holes, the contact engaging the insulating housing forming an engaging area, the contact comprising a contacting arm extending above the engaging area for connecting the CPU and a soldering portion extending below the engaging area for soldering on the PCB, wherein; a centre line of the engaging area is parallel to the centre plane of the insulating housing, and the distance between the centre line of the engaging area and the centre plane of the insulating housing is not more than 1/10 the height of the insulating housing; wherein the receiving hole comprises a narrow section, the engaging area is formed by the contact engaging with the narrow section; wherein the receiving hole comprises a broad section above the narrow section, the contact disengages the broad section; wherein the receiving hole comprises a tilted guiding section connecting the broad section and the narrow section for guiding the contact to be assembled therein.
