Abstract
An LGP connector comprises an insulative housing and a plurality of contacts. The housing defines a plurality of passageway sections for receiving the contacts therein. Each contact includes a soldering base for soldering the contact to a printed circuit board and an upper contact beam for electrically connecting the contact with an LGP chip, thereby electrically connecting the chip with the printed circuit board. Each contact comprises a pair of anti-rotation tabs extending from an end of the soldering base, and each passageway section transversely defines an anti-rotation cavity in a bottom face thereof and at a first side wall thereof for retaining the anti-rotation tabs of the contact.
