More Information
Summary:A land grid array connector includes a housing having a plurality of passageways therethrough and a conductive contact provided in each passageway. A recess is formed in each passageway. Each contact has a deformable portion having a tip provided at an end thereof. The deformable portion is capable being in an undeformed position and in a deformed position. When a lateral force is placed on the deformable portion of each contact, at least a portion of the tip is maintained within the recess. The recess is sized and configured to limit lateral deflection of the tip upon deformation of the deformable portion in a lateral direction.
