Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing extending in a horizontal direction, a plurality of conductive terminals retained in the insulative housing, a metallic stiffener surrounding the insulative housing, a load plate pivotally mounted upon the metallic stiffener and moveable between an open position and a closed position, and a carrier frame used for retaining and receiving a central processing unit (CPU) and carrying the CPU to the insulative housing. After retaining the CPU, the carrier frame is mounted on the insulative housing along a vertical direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction. The load plate is rotated to the closed position to fix the CPU on the insulative housing.
