Abstract:
1. An electrical connector adapted for connecting an electronic package with a circuit substrate, comprising: an insulative housing comprising an upper surface adapted for receiving the electronic package and an opposite bottom surface adapted for being mounted to the circuit substrate, the upper surface defining a multiplicity of passageways impenetrate to the bottom surface, the insulative housing defining a grid of channels at the bottom surface; a plurality of terminals received in the passageways respectively, each terminal comprising a soldering portion extending beyond the bottom surface of the insulative housing adapted for electrically connecting the circuit substrate, a spring arm with a mating portion extending beyond the upper surface of the insulative housing adapted for electrically connecting said electronic package at a free end thereof; and a flat reinforcement member disposed within the channels of the insulative housing and defining a plurality of recesses corresponding to the passageways of the insulative housing to permit the soldering portions of the terminals extending therethrough.
