Abstract

Disclosed is a LGA socket connector including an insulative housing (2), a stiffener (3), a clip (4), and a lever (5) defining thereof a driving portion (50) and a locking portion (52) linked thereto. The stiffener is configured to grasp a periphery of the housing. The clip and the locking portion of the lever are essentially pivotally moved about longitudinal ends of the housing respectively, but with the driving portion disposed adjacent one transverse side of the housing. At least one of the clip and the stiffener is provided with a recessed region (300) adjacent said transverse side of the housing, thereby preventing the whole connector from becoming inclined when the connector is horizontally locked and placed on the printed circuit board.
