ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (1) for connecting a land grid array (LGA) chip with a printed circuit board (PCB) includes a housing (10), and terminals (11) received in passageways (104) of the housing. The housing defines a base (100) and sidewalls (12, 14), the base and the sidewalls cooperatively defining a space therebetween for receiving the LGA chip. The base has a multiplicity of walls respectively between every two adjacent passageways along a length thereof, and four peripheral raised portions (102) extending upwardly and adjoining the sidewalls respectively. A multiplicity of protrusions (106) extends upwardly from the walls respectively. A height of the raised portions is the same as that of the protrusions. When a force is exerted down on the LGA chip to make the LGA chip engege with the terminals, a proportion of the force is borne by the protrusions and the raised portions.
