Abstract
A land grid array (LGA) connector (1) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an insulative housing (2), a stiffener (3) coupled to the housing, and a plurality of ribs (23) projecting from a periphery edge of the housing. The stiffener defines an opening (31) for surrounding the housing. Each of the ribs has a base defining a mating surface (2321) and a mounting surface (2312). The stiffener is coupled to the housing by the rib mating surface abutting against a wall face (32) of the stiffener opening, and the rib mounting surface resting on a peripheral edge (320) of the stiffener that defines the opening. As such, a reliable coupling between the stiffener and the housing is achieved, thereby having no possibility of releasing the housing from the stiffener by an external, improper force.
