Patent ID: 7448879

Claim:
An electrical connector for electrically connecting a chip module to a printed circuit board, comprising: an insulator sandwiched between the printed circuit board and the chip module; and a strengthening member, the strengthening member including: a pressing region, a location member, and a sidewall extending between said pressing region and said location member, said sidewall and said pressing region defining a receiving cavity for receiving said chip module and insulator therein, said location member bending and extending outwardly and substantially along entire bottom edge of said sidewall externally to said receiving cavity of said strengthening member, said location member having a plurality of positioning holes formed therein in alignment with fitting holes defined on the printed circuit board, wherein, when said location member is secured to the printed circuit board by locking members extending through said positioning holes of said location member and respective said fitting holes of the printed circuit board, said insulator and chip module are pressed down by said pressing region to the printed circuit board.
