Abstract:
An electrical connector used for electrically connecting an electrical component having conductive pads to a printed circuit board comprising:an insulative housing defining a first surface and an opposite second surface and a plurality of passageways communicating therebetween; a plurality of contacts received in the passageways and each being corresponding to one conductive pad, each contact defining an elastic portion outwardly of the first surface, the elastic portion defining a first contacting portion and a second contacting portion, the elastic portion being movable between an upper position where the first contacting portion is adapted to contact one of the conductive pads and a lower position where the second contacting portion is adapted to contact said one of the conductive pads; wherein a distance between the first contacting portion in the upper position and the second contacting portion in the lower position is shorter than a horizontal dimension of the conductive pad of the complementary electrical component; wherein the contact comprises a supporting portion and a flexure portion extending from the support portion; wherein the contact comprises a solder portion extending from the supporting portion and an interfering portion extending from a distal end of the solder portion; wherein the contact having the elastic portion extending from the flexure portion along a lengthwise direction of the passageway, with spaced the first and second contacting portions at a free distal end of the elastic portion.
