An electrical connector having a housing with a first surface and a second surface. Contact receiving openings extend from the first surface to the second surface. Contacts are positioned in the contact receiving openings. The contacts have base members and resilient contact beams extending from opposed sides of the base members. Sidewalls extend from opposed sides of the base members from which the resilient contact beams do not extend. The contacts also provide multiple electrical pathways across the contacts for electrical signal transmissions, allowing for signal transmissions to be transmitted at frequencies of approximately 224 Gbps or greater.

IC socket with high speed contacts

A contact includes a base portion having a first end and a second end, a first extending portion extending from first end of the base portion and having a first contact portion, and a second extending portion extending from the second end of the base portion and having a second contact portion. The base portion extends between the first end and the second end. The base portion has a pair of base portion beams having a first space therebetween. Each of the base portion beams has a press-fit portion protruding from one of the base portion beams toward the other of the base portion beams; the press-fit portions are press-fittable into a housing and supportable by the housing.
