ABSTRACT:
A socket connector (10) includes an housing (12) including a pair of side walls (14) and a pair of end walls (16) commonly defining a cavity (18) for receiving a chip carrier therein. A plurality of passageways (20) are disposed in two side walls (14) of the housing (12) for receiving a corresponding number of contacts (22) therein. A bottom surface (36) is provided with the housing (12) for supportably receiving the chip carrier in the cavity. A plurality of openings (38) are provided in the bottom surface (36) along two opposite sides thereof wherein each opening (38) corresponds to every two adjacent passageways (20). A dividing bar (40) of the bottom surface (36) is provided between every two adjacent openings (38). A pair of shortened abutment wings (42) extend laterally by two sides of the dividing bar (40) and on the under-surface (44) of the bottom surface (36) whereby the surface-mounting contact tails (34) of two adjacent contacts (22) by two sides of every dividing bar (40) can be engageably aligned with the corresponding abutment wings (42), respectively, for maintaining the contact tails (34) in the same plane.
