An electrical connector includes an insulative housing retaining a plurality of contacts therein. The contact includes a mating part with a first body and a spring arm extending therefrom for mating a conductive pad of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and a soldering part with a second body and a solder tail extending therefrom for mounting a solder ball thereon. The spring arm is downwardly pressed by the CPU to contact the soldering part when the CPU is mounted upon the electrical connector The mating part and the soldering part are spaced from each other either without any connection, or alternately linked with each other via a bridge transversely connected therebetween wherein the latter may optionally omit the barbed structure from one of the mating part and the soldering part.
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a contact module essentially composed of a plurality of contacts integrally formed within an insulator via an insert-molding process wherein the contact module is assembled to the housing via two steps along different directions perpendicular to each other. The housing forms a plurality of protrusions engaged with the corresponding ribs of contact module in the vertical direction so as to retain the contact module to the housing reliably. All the insulator, the contacts and the housing are arranged in a staggered manner.
A plurality of contact are received within the corresponding passageways of the insulative housing of an electrical connector, respectively. Each contact has juxtaposed first body and second body angled with each other via a connecting section linked therebetween. A resilient contacting section extends upwardly from the first body. A spring arm extends upward from the first body and includes a wide plate section adjacent to the first body and a narrow bulged contacting section at a top thereof. During operation, the plate section is parallel to a top face of the housing in a compressed manner.

A plurality of contact are received within the corresponding passageways of the insulative housing of an electrical connector, respectively. Each contact has juxtaposed first body and second body angled with each other via a connecting section linked therebetween. A resilient contacting section extends upwardly from the first body. The bottom portion of the second body forms sideward spaced first blade and second blade with a slit therebetween, wherein a soldering tail further extends from the first blade, and the second blade is sideward farther from the first body than the first blade is. The bottom edge of the first body is lower than the bottom edge of the connecting sections o as to form another slit between the first body and the second body under the connection section.

A plurality of contact are received within the corresponding passageways of the insulative housing of an electrical connector, respectively. Each contact has juxtaposed first body and second body angled with each other via a linking section connected therebetween. A resilient spring arm extends upwardly from the first body, and includes a wide plate section adjacent to the first body, a bulged contacting section at a top thereof, and a narrow connecting section therebetween. The spring arm is asymmetric with regard to a centerline of the spring arm for avoiding interference with a standoff around a neighboring passageway in a neighboring row.

An electronic component includes a first module, a second module and a third module between the first module and the second module. Each of the first module and the second module includes a plurality of conductive pads thereon. A connecting part includes a plate body and a plurality of first tails and a plurality of second tails respectively extending on two opposite sides of the plate body wherein the first tails are soldered upon the first conductive pads and the second tails are soldered upon the second conductive pads, respectively. Each of the first tails and the second tails includes a mounting pad with a through hole therein, and a folded section on the end edge with a solder unit received with a space formed in the folded section and communicatively above the corresponding through hole.
An electrical contact forms opposite top surface and bottom surface. A guiding groove is formed in the top surface. A mounting section is formed at an end of the contact. In the mounting section, a securing hole extends downwardly from the guiding groove and through the bottom surface. A solder unit is received within the securing hole and reaches a conductive pad, under the contact, to which the contact is soldered by reflowing the solder unit. The guiding groove extends from an oblique section of the contact so as to assure the socket unit can be smoothly dropped into the securing hole. The solder unit can be temporarily retained within the securing hole before reflowing.
An electrical connector includes an insulative base, an insulative cover attached upon the base and moveable along a front-to-back direction, and an operation lever sandwiched between the base and the cover for moving the cover relative to the base in the front-to-back direction. The lever includes an actuating bar sandwiched between the upper head and the lower head, and an operation bar exposed outside of the base and the cover. The operation bar is rotatable between a horizontal position and a vertical position. The lower head includes a stopper around a front end of the operation bar with a locking section engaged with the operation bar wherein said locking section extends toward the operation bar either inwardly along the transverse direction or in the front-to-back direction.
