Patent ID: 7993152

Claim:
An electrical connector for electrically connecting a chip of a first width, comprising: an insulative housing defining a plurality of contact recesses; a plurality of contacts inserted in the contact recesses; a connecting member mounted on the insulative housing and having a connecting region electrically connectable with the chip, said connecting region having a second width larger than the first width; and an actuator moveably assembled to the insulative housing, said actuator being formed with a pair of first side walls having cutout portions and a pair of restricting portions respectively protruding inwardly from the pair of first side walls, the pair of restricting portions being extended along sides of the cutout portions and spaced a distance substantially equal to the second width to guidingly restrict the chip in the connecting region; wherein each restricting portion is formed with a guiding face for guiding the chip into the connecting region; wherein said connecting member comprises a pair of periphery walls each having a first inner face and an inclined face extending from the first inner face, and said restricting portion has a second inner face substantially coplanar with the first inner face; and wherein said insulative housing defines a plurality of sliding recesses and a plurality of blocking portions each formed in an associated sliding recess, and wherein said actuator is formed with a plurality of sliding beams each extended downwardly from a bottom of the actuator and slidable in the sliding recess and blocked by the blocking portion.
