Abstract: An electrical connector assembly (1) comprises a housing (10), an operating member (11), a cover (12) pivotally engaged in one side of the housing (10), a shaft (14) for connecting the cover (12) to the housing (10) and a plurality of terminals (13). The operating member (11) defines a number of receiving holes (110), and the housing (10) defines a plurality of passageways (100) corresponding to the receiving holes (110). The terminal (13) comprises a contact engaging portion (131) received in the housing (10) for contacting with the chip module (2), an retaining portion (132) received in the received hole (110), a tail (1) connecting to the printed circuit board and a neck portion (134) connecting the retaining portion (132) and the contact engaging portion (131). The operating member (11) is floatably supported by a first projection (1341) formed on the first connecting portion (134).

Abstract: An electrical connector for electrically connecting a CPU with a plurality of conductive pads and a PCB comprises an insulative housing and a number of terminals received in the housing. Each terminal includes a base, an elastic arm extending from the base and a solder section connected with the PCB. A contact section near the elastic arm protrudes a contact portion to meet the pads of the CPU and to increase the contact friction and remove the oxidation layer and any contaminant of the pads.
