A socket, adapt for electrically connecting a semiconductor package to a print circuit board, comprises an insulating housing, a plurality of contacts received in the insulating housing and a plurality of solder balls disposed on bottom ends of the contacts. The socket is mounted on the print circuit board by soldering the solder balls to the print circuit board, after that, an accessional member, which is made of epoxy resin, is displaced between the insulating housing and the print circuit board by insert-molding to surround the solder balls.

Socket mounted to printed circuit board

An electrical contact () of an electrical connector includes a board-like base (), a first arm () extending from a side of the base, and a second arm () extending from an opposite side of the base. The first arm extends forwardly and circuitously in a first plane, while the second arm extends forwardly and circuitously in a second plane. The second plane is parallel to and lower than the first plane.
