An electrical connector having a fusible element for mounting on a substrate includes an insulative housing and a contact terminal retained in the insulative housing. The contact terminal includes a resilient contacting arm extending beyond a mating face of the insulative housing and a soldering portion for mating with the fusible element. A gelatinous flux is deployed on the fusible element, and/or on the soldering portion, and/or between the fusible element and the soldering portion, and then flux is dried to immovably fix the fusible element with respect to the soldering portion. The dried flux will be re-juvenile to clean and remove an oxidized layer originally existed on the soldering portion so as to achieve robust welding quality. Besides, a method for trimming an electrical connector to have robust welding properties is also disclosed.

An LED lead frame includes an insulative base having a cavity on one side. A pair of conductive leads each has an end exposed in the cavity and another end extended out of insulative base. An electrostatic discharge protection device is insert-molded in the insulative base with only one side thereof exposed out of the insulative base, and is electrically interconnecting with the conductive leads.

An electrical connector assembly includes an electrical connector, a chip located and a printed circuit board located at opposite sides of the anisoptropic conductive film. The electrical connector has an anisoptropic conductive film and a loading mechanism. The anisoptropic conductive film includes an adhesive and a number of conductive particles dispersed in the adhesive. The anisoptropic conductive film has conductivity only in a thicknesswise direction by pressing. The loading mechanism can exert pressure on the anisoptropic conductive film so that the chip and the printed circuit board electrically couples with each other.

Electrical connector and assembly thereof

A socket connector () adapted for electrically connecting a package to a printed circuit board comprises a substrate () and a plurality of contacts (), the substrate () comprises a top surface (), a bottom surface () opposite to the top surface () and a plurality of passageways () impenetrate the top surface () and the bottom surface (), the contact () is partly received in the passageway () and comprises a body portion (), at least one leg () extends downwardly from the body portion () and a spring arm () extends upwardly from the body portion (), the body portion () is attached to the top surface of the substrate () and the leg () goes through the passageway () to position the contact () on the substrate ().

A burn-in socket for receiving an IC package comprises a socket body, a plurality of contacts mounted in the socket body and an actuator movably mounted upon the socket body. Each contact in the socket body includes a pair of clipping arms with tip portions at free ends thereof respectively. Solder balls attached to the bottom of the IC package are respectively clipped between the pair of the tip portions and thus the IC package should be brought into electrical contact with the contacts of the burn-in socket. The tip portion is plated with a Pd&#x2014;Co layer for reducing the attachment of the Sn and preventing the impedance of the contacts to increase. Meanwhile, the IC package can be sucked up successfully without absorption from the contacts of the burn-in socket.

A connector assembly includes a PCB, an insulative housing mounted on the PCB with a plurality of contacts received therein, a retention module mounted on the PCB and surrounding the insulative housing, and a backplate mounted below the PCB for reinforcing the retention module. The backplate includes a base plate having an upper surface toward a backside surface of the PCB and an insulative coating deposited on the upper surface to prevent the backplate from short-circuiting electrical components of mounted on the backside surface of the PCB.
