Abstract: An electronic card connector consists of an upper housing member and a lower housing member fixedly connected together. A number of contacts are fixed to the lower housing member. Each contact has a contact portion for electrically engaging with a card inserted into the connector and a tail portion for being soldered to a printed circuit board on which the connector is mounted. The upper housing member forms a number of cantilevered arms with enlarged free ends biasing the card inserted into the connector toward the contact portions of the contacts to ensure a positive engagement between the card and the contacts.

Abstract: A contact of an LGA socket comprises a main plate having two guiding and positioning extensions projecting upward from two ends of a beveled upper edge thereof, two lower engagement pins extending downward from two ends of a lower edge of the main plate, and at least one barb formed on each of two opposite vertical sides of the main plate. A resilient C-shaped upper engagement pin curvedly extends upward from a middle portion of the lower edge of the main plate and includes a contacting tip extending upright from one end of the upper engagement pin substantially beyond a horizontal level of the two guiding and positioning extensions.
