Patent ID: 7473106

Claim:
An electrical connector adapted for connecting IC packages to a printed circuit board, comprising: at least one wafer mounting a plurality of conductive terminals therein and a plurality of though holes thereon; and a frame member receiving the at least one wafer and defining a plurality of retaining portions insert-molded thereof corresponding with the through holes; wherein the retaining portions are fully fitted in the through holes and each retaining portion has an inner hollow structure; wherein the frame member is configured by four side members interconnected to each other, and each of the side member further includes a sub-member extending substantially from a middle portion of each side member toward a geometric center of the frame member and dividing a general space within the side members into four discrete receiving spaces; wherein the at least one wafer has sidewalls perpendicularly protruding from edges thereof, the side walls interfere with side members of the frame member; wherein a plurality of ribs are formed on an outer periphery of said sidewalls to strength the interfering force between the sidewalls and side members of the frame member.
