ABSTRACT:
A connector (1) for electrically connecting a central processing unit (CPU) with a printed circuit board (PCB) includes an insulative housing (2), passages (20) defined in the housing, and conductive contacts (3) secured in corresponding passages. Each passage includes a fastening recess (202), and the fastening recess includes a flared upper portion (2021). Each contact includes a soldering portion (31) for being soldered to the PCB, a pair of contact portions (33) for engaging with the CPU, and a body portion (32) interconnecting the soldering portion and the contact portions. Two pairs of engaging portions (340) are formed on opposite lateral edges of the body portion respectively. Each engaging portion includes an upper fixing part (3402) and a lower tapered guiding part (3401). When the contact is engaged in the corresponding passage, the tapered guiding parts and the flared upper portion cooperate to facilitate correct insertion of the contact.
