ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises a base defining a plurality of elongate channels and a plurality of alternating first and second cavities in each channel, a cover movably attached to the base and a plurality of first and second contacts respectively received in the first and second cavities of the base. Each contact comprises a retention portion, a spring arm extending from one edge of the retention portion, and a mounting portion laterally extending from an opposite edge of the retention portion. The spring arm forms an engaging portion at a free end thereof comprising first and second connecting portions deflecting from a plane of the retention portion. The contacts are assembled to the base with the engaging portions of the adjacent contacts being offset a distance smaller than a dimension of a pin of an electronic chip, causing alternating contacts to electrically engage with alternating pins on opposite sides thereof.
