Abstract
An LGA connector (1) includes a housing (11), a pair of stiffeners (10), a clip (12), and a lever (13). The housing includes a pair of side portions (116). Each side portion defines a retaining space (118) with an elongated protrusion (1182), two channels (1180, 1181), and an end portion (1184). Each stiffener is positioned in a corresponding retaining space of the housing and includes opposite first and second portions (102, 103), and a third portion (101). The first portion defines a plurality of mounting holes (106). An outer face of each side portion defines a plurality of thread holes (119) corresponding to the mounting holes of the stiffener. A plurality of screws (14) mechanically connects the stiffeners with the housing through the thread holes of the housing and the mounting holes of the stiffeners. As a result, a structure of the housing is reinforced.
