Abstract
A land grid array connector is electrically connected between a first electrical device and a second electrical device. The land grid array connector comprises an insulative rectangular housing defining a plurality of passageways therein for respectively receiving a resilient contact therein which has a first end electrically contacting with the first electrical device and a second end electrically contacting with the second electrical device. The insulative housing has a body portion and four raised sides extending upward from the body portion, thereby defining a central cavity between the four raised sides for receiving the first electrical device. A first resilient arm and a second resilient arm are formed in respective adjacent raised sides for fittingly engaging the first electrical device in the central cavity.
