Abstract
A socket connector (10) comprises a base (20) defining a mounting surface (20a) and a substantially rectangular passage body (22). The passage body defines a rectangular array of passages (22b). A plurality of concavities (20d) is defined in the mounting surface. Each concavity is defined between two adjacent passages in a same row of the passages, and surrounded by four passages; two of the passages being in a same row as the concavity, and two of the passages being in a row adjacent said same row. With this configuration, the passage body of the base has a substantially uniform thickness at the mounting surface. Thus, after molding, the passage body is simultaneously cooled down at the mounting surface, to thereby prevent the passage body from warping during formation or heating of the base.
