Abstract
An electrical connector for interconnecting a CPU or a chipset to a printed circuit board comprises a housing, a number of terminals received in the housing and a number of solder blocks. Each terminal has a base and a tail pad perpendicularly extending from the base. Each solder block is rectangular and mounted on the tail pad of the corresponding terminal by a plane contact to increase a contact area existing therebetween for promoting manufacturing efficiency and enhancing the securement of the solder block to the terminal.
