ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing defining a plurality of cavities therein, a number of contacts and an arrangement for strengthening the engagement of the connector to a circuit board. The strengthening arrangement includes a number of holes disposed along an outer periphery of the cavities and a number of terminals received in the holes. Each of the contact and the terminal has a mating portion and a mounting portion. The mounting portions of the contacts and the terminals are connected to the contact pads of the circuit board by solder balls. A stress exists when the contacts and terminals are soldered to the contact pads on the circuit board, but the stress acting on the contacts is relieved by the terminals sharing a lot of the stress. Thus, the contacts are secured on the contact pads.
