ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for connecting a central processing unit chip to a computer circuit board comprises a plurality of metal clips forcibly insertedly disposed within a plurality of socket holes formed on a connector body. Each of the metal clips comprises a base which is formed by bending a plate member to form a hollow tubular member on the top of which a pinching member which is also a hollow tubular member is integrally formed. An elongated flat peg extends downward from the bottom of the base to insert into a hole formed on a circuit board. The socket holes comprise a lower holding portion substantially complemental in shape to, but smaller in size than the base of the metal clip in order to forcibly receive therein the base of the metal clip. The socket holes also have an upper portion corresponding to the pinching member of the metal clip to receive therein the pinching member. A vertical slit is provided on the hollow tubular base to accommodate the thermal deformation thereof and a plurality of vertical slits are provided on the lower tapering end of the tubular pinching member to provide a better resilience for frictionally engaging with the pins of a CPU chip. On the flat peg, a reinforcing rib is formed by pressing to formed an elongated indentation.
