Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing defining a plurality of channels and each channel receives a contact (3) therein. The contact includes a base portion (12) having upper and lower edges (14, 13). Two support portions (22, 23) extend from the upper edge of the base portion and are spaced apart from each other. A pair of arms (221, 231) is separately formed on the support portions, each being substantially perpendicular to the support portion. A gap is defined between the arms and is resiliently adaptable to receive a CPU pin in a range of diameters. At least a recess (222) is defined in the support portion adjacent to a junction between the arm and the support portion. A soldering portion (11) extends from the lower edge of the base portion for soldering to an external device.
