Abstract:
1. An electrical connector comprising: an insulative housing; a multiplicity of conductive contacts; the housing defining with a conductive district for electrically connecting with a CPU and a PCB; the conductive district comprising a mating surface and a mounting surface opposite to the mating surface; a plurality of passageways extending vertically through said conductive district to receive corresponding contacts therein; and the contact imposing a force in a direction against a first wall face beside the passageway when the contact is downwardly pressed; wherein for each of said passageways, a pair of stand-offs vertically extend respectively from a pair of second wall faces which are located by two sides of the first wall face, and also along the direction horizontally; wherein the pair of stand-offs are not connected to but isolated from the pair of neighboring stand-offs in said direction, and no stand-off extends along another horizontal direction perpendicular to said direction so that no stand-off is formed along the first wall; wherein each contact comprises a vertical retention portion retained in the first wall of the passageway, a pair of spring arms obliquely extending from two opposite sides of the retention portion, respectively; wherein each side of the retention portion extends two parallel spring arms.
