Abstract
An LGA electrical connector (3) includes a housing (2) defining a plurality of passageways (20) therein, and a plurality of terminals (1) received the corresponding passageways. Each passageway comprises a narrow first passage (201) and a broad second passage (202). The first passage has two stepped sidewalls each with a first sidewall (2010) and a second sidewall (2012). A space between the opposite first sidewalls is greater than that between the opposite second sidewalls. Each terminal comprises two retention portions (15). Each retention portion itself is separated, and forms a broad first interference portion (150) and a narrow second interference portion (152). The first interference portion of the terminal interferentially engages with the first sidewall of the passageway. The second interference portion of the terminal interferentially engages with the second sidewall of the passageway. Thus, the terminal can be securely received in the passageway of the housing.
