Abstract
A package (1) for receiving a plurality of electrical socket connectors (4) comprises an elongate housing (2). The housing includes a set of first supporting portions (21) in each of opposite ends thereof, and an intermediate set of second supporting portions (22) between the two sets of first portions. Each first portion includes a rectangular bottom wall (210). A pair of through slots (211) is defined in the bottom wall at opposite longitudinal sides respectively of the first portion. The set of second portions comprises a single bottom wall (220) that spans an entire area of all the second portions. The socket connectors are fittingly received in the first portions and the second portions so that they abut the respective bottom walls. The bottom walls of the first portions and the bottom wall of the second portions cooperatively render the package strong enough to resist deformation.
