A ball grid array (BGA) socket (5) includes an insulative member (52), a number of conductive contacts (54) attached to the insulative member in an array and a number of solder balls (56) respectively attached to corresponding conductive contacts and arranged in an array in accordance with the conductive contacts. The insulative member provides a number of stand-offs (60) on the mounting surface thereof and located in the array of the solder balls. When the BGA socket is located on a printed circuit board (PCB, 80) and heated, the solder balls become soft or melted and the insulative member sinks until the stand-offs bear against the PCB. Since the stand-offs are located in the array of the solder balls, the solder balls are not spaced from the PCB too close or too far, therefore the solder balls close a center of the connector may not be disconnected from corresponding solder pads or interconnect with the adjacent solder balls.

A ZIF socket (1) on which a CPU (2) is mounted. The CPU (2) has a plurality of pins (21) extending through a cover (11) into a base (12) of the socket for electrically engaging with contacts (110) received in the base. The cover defines two slots (1112) in two opposite sides of a top face thereof. The slots are located below two side edges of the CPU, whereby there is more space for a user's fingers to grip the CPU to pull it away from the socket in order to replace CPU with another one.

A contact (10) for a ZIF PGA socket (20) includes a horizontal single-beam contact portion (12) and an elongated mounting portion (11) depending from the contact portion. The mounting portion includes a fixing portion (16) for fixing to the socket, a leg (19) depending from the fixing portion for extending through the socket and electrically communicating with a circuit board, and a neck (14) integrally connecting the contact portion and the fixing portion. The neck is substantially narrower than the fixing portion and the contact portion, thus allowing the contact portion to twist about a central vertical axis of the contact and to be displaced relative to the fixing portion. The contact portion can thereby rotatably contact and resiliently press against a corresponding pin (30) of a mating PGA device.

A contact strip includes a number of conductive contacts (4), a contact carrier (5) and a corresponding number of links (6) connecting corresponding contacts to the contact carrier. Each contact includes a contact portion (42) and a soldering portion (43) opposite the contact portion for attaching a solder ball for soldering to a printed circuit board. The contact portion is plated with gold using a molten gold plating liquid for enhancing electrical/mechanical characteristics of the contact portion. Each link defines a longitudinal slot (61) for obstructing a wicking path from the contact to the contact carrier. Furthermore, an elongate opening (52) is defined in the contact carrier above and perpendicular to a corresponding slot to further prevent the plating liquid from wicking up to the contact carrier, thereby preventing loss of the expensive plating liquid and reducing the cost of the contact.

A zero insertion force (ZIF) socket for electrically connecting an electronic package and a mother board, comprises an insulative cover, a driving device, an insulative base defining a number of engaging slots therein and at least two types of engaging terminals received in the corresponding engaging slots. The engaging terminals or rows of the engaging slots are each offset relative to each other. Thus, electrical contacts are established between the engaging terminals and conductive terminals of the electronic package at different times thereby effectively lowering the operating resistance of the ZIF socket.

An electrical connector comprises a dielectric base defining a number of contact receiving slots therein, a slidable cover fixed to the base and defining a number of pin receiving holes for receiving corresponding pins of an IC package therein, and a number of contacts received in the corresponding contact receiving slots of the base. Each contact comprises a U-shaped, non-symmetrical guiding portion for guiding a corresponding pin of the IC package to electrically connect with the contact, a contact portion comprising a pair of contact tabs extending from free ends of the guiding portion and defining a gap for engaging the corresponding pin of the IC package, a main body connected to the guiding portion for supporting the contact, and a solder pad extending from a lower edge of the main body for being surface mounted to a circuit board. The guiding portion forms a coined convex collar section on an upper edge between which the corresponding pin of the IC package is inserted into a collar chamber defined within the guiding portion. When the cover is driven to slide, the coined convex collar sections smoothly guide the pins of the IC package to enter into the gap between the contact tabs and decrease frictional resistance exerted on the pins by the contacts.

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a number of compound terminals for connecting a CPU to a circuit board. Each terminal has an arcuate engaging section whereby a solder ball can be easily positioned within the engaging section. Thus, assembly is expedited and proper signal transmission is ensured.
