Abstract:
1. An electrical socket terminal for grid array connector comprising: an insulative body having a plurality of terminal receiving slots defined therethrough; a top cover having a plurality of insertion holes passing therethrough and being slidable over the insulative body; a driving member that drives the top cover to slide along the insulative body and make the terminal receiving slots correspond to the insertion holes; and a plurality of conductive terminals respectively received in the corresponding plurality of the terminal receiving slots; each conductive terminal includes a base that is mounted in the terminal receiving slot, and two connection parts respectively extending forwardly from two sides of the base, and a pair of arms respectively bent from one side of the connection part and extending upward while each arm includes a first bending part bent extending upwardly from the connection part and extending away from the other arm, a second bending part bent upwardly and extending from the first bending part, a first elastic arm extending upwardly from the second bending part and toward the other arm, a contact section formed at a rear end of the first elastic arm and toward the other contact section of the other arm, and a guiding part formed at a rear end of the contact section, extending forward horizontally away from the base, while the two guiding parts extend away from from each other; a welding part extending downwardly from the base and having an open slot so as to form two elastic pressing parts while the welding part is in the same plane as the base; and at least one fixing part extending from the welding part, received and fixed in the terminal receiving slot, and the fixing part is in the same plane as the welding part.
