ABSTRACT:
A contact for use in a ZIF socket comprises an engagement portion for firmly fixing the contact in the socket. A cutout is formed in a lower intermediate of the engagement portion. A first compliant pin section extends upward from an upper edge of the engagement portion. A second compliant pin section extends downward from an inner upper wall of the cutout thus separating the cutout into two space portions. An end of the second compliant pin section is allowed to be attached with an external solder ball. A contacting portion extends from the first compliant pin section and has a straight plate substantially coplanar with the engagement portion, a curved plate extending from the straight plate and a movable contacting plate extending from the curved plate and spaced away from and opposite to the straight plate.
