ABSTRACT:
A socket connector (1) for electrically interconnecting a CPU package and a PCB includes a base (10), a cover (13) slidably mounted on the base, an actuator mechanism (14) sandwiched between the cover and the base, and a plurality of terminals (15) received in the base. The base defines an actuator channel (120) having a protrusion block (121) in a middle thereof, and an array of terminal-passages (110) receiving the terminals therein. The actuator mechanism includes a shaft (140) having a protrusion (1402) corresponding to the protrusion block, and a handle lever (141) extending from the shaft. When the CPU package is mounted onto the connector with zero inserted force, the protrusion block is mated with the protrusion to keep the actuator mechanism at a vertical position. The protrusion block increases a strength of the base to protect the base from distortion or damage should it sustain unduly large force.
