Abstract
A land grid array socket (1) comprises an insulative housing (11) having a plurality of passageways (113) extending throughout a top surface (111) and an opposite bottom surface (113) and a plurality of electrical terminals (5) received in corresponding passageways, respectively. Each terminal including a base portion (51) in the passageway and a first spring arm (55) extending out of the top surface of the housing and adapted to be electrically connected with a first electronic component (2) and a second spring arm (54) extending out of the bottom surface of the housing and adapted to be electrically connected with a second electronic component (3). Wherein the first and the second spring arms each has a resisting portion (531, 521), the resisting portions resist the base portion when the spring arms are pressed by the first and the second electronic components so as to form a shorter electrical circuit path between the electronic components.
