Patent attributes
An electrical connector for connection between the CPU and the PCB includes an insulative housing, an insulative plate below the housing and a plurality of contacts retained to the housing and the plate. The housing forms a receiving cavity for receiving the CPU, and the plate forms a mounting face confronting the PCB. Each contact includes an upper part and a lower part discrete and independent from each other. The upper part includes an upward resilient arm extending into the receiving cavity for mechanically and electrically connecting to the CPU, and a bottom connecting section. The lower part includes a downward resilient arm extending toward the PCB for mechanically and electrically connecting to the PCB, and a top connecting section. The bottom connecting section and the top connecting section are mechanically and electrically connected to each other.
