Abstract
An electrical connector (1) includes an insulative housing (10) having a first surface (101) and a second surface (102). The housing defines a plurality of passageways (103) communicating the first surface and the second surface, each passageway receiving two opposite contacts (12) therein. Each contact defines a base portion (121) interferentially received in the housing, a solder portion (122) extending from an end of the base portion, a bending portion (123) extending from the other end of the base portion and an elastic portion (124) extending from the distal end of the bending portion. In addition, the elastic portion defines a contacting pad (1241), which is used to electrically connect with an LGA IC module. An area of the contacting pad is less than an area of the solder portion, and a vertical projection of the contacting pad on the solder portion is entirely within the solder portion.
