Abstract:
1. An electrical connector for an electronic element that has a plurality of contacts, said electrical connector comprising: a dielectric housing having an upper mounting body adapted to be mounted with the electronic element, a lower base body cooperating with said upper mounting body so as to confine a heat-dissipating space, and at least one opening in fluid communication with said heat-dissipating space, said upper mounting body being formed with a plurality of first through holes, said lower base body being formed with a plurality of second through holes, each of which corresponds to a respective one of said first through holes in said upper mounting body; a set of conductive terminals, each of which extends through a respective one of said first through holes in said upper mounting body and a corresponding one of said second through holes in said lower base body; and has a first contact portion extending upwardly and outwardly of said upper mounting body and adapted to contact a corresponding one of the contacts of the electronic element when the electronic element is mounted on said upper mounting body, and a second contact portion extending downwardly and outwardly of said lower base body; and an anchoring unit mounted on said dielectric housing and operable so as to anchor the electronic element to said upper mounting body of said dielectric housing when the electronic element is disposed on said upper mounting body of said dielectric housing; wherein said anchoring unit includes:
