ABSTRACT:
A socket connector includes a housing having a mating interface configured to mate with an electronic component and a mounting interface configured to mount to a circuit board. Signal contacts are held by the housing and extend between the mating interface and the mounting interface. Power contacts are held by the housing and extend between the mating interface and the mounting interface. The power contacts are configured to transmit power from the circuit board to the electronic component. Each of the power contacts have at least one commoning element. A metallic power plate is coupled to the commoning elements of a plurality of the power contacts to electrically common the power contacts to one another.
