Patent ID: 6905357

Claim:
An electrical connector for electrically connecting an electronic package with a circuit substrate, the electrical connector comprising: a connector body fixed on the circuit substrate; a clip pivotally mounted to the connector body; and a load lever attached to the connector body, the load lever comprising an operational and an operational portion extending from and angularly relative to the operational arm, the operational portion defines a handle in one end thereof, wherein when the connector is in a closed state, a distance between the operational portion and the circuit substrate is greater than a distance between the handle and the circuit substrate, a distance between the handle and the side of the connector body which is adjacent to the operational portion is greater than a distance between the operational arm and the same side of the connector body; wherein the operational portion comprises an extending portion extending from and angularly relative to the operational arm, a middle portion extending from a distal end of the extending portion, a generally U-shaped bending portion extending from a distal end of the middle portion, the handle extending from a distal end of the bending portion and being parallel to the middle portion.
