Abstract
An LGA connector assembly ( ) includes an insulative base ( ) receiving a plurality of contacts, a metal reinforcement ( ) covering the base, and a lever ( ) and a metal clip ( ) respectively pivotally mounted on two opposite sides of the base. The base includes two opposite sidewalls ( ), and each sidewall includes a pair of latches ( ). The reinforcement includes a planar portion ( ) and two elongate tabs ( ) extending downwardly from two opposite lateral edges of the planar portion. Each tab includes a pair of windows ( ) for engaging with the latches of the base. Thus, when the lever and the clip are rotated to tightly attach the CPU in the LGA connector assembly, the base is able to withstand the force from the clip without any deformation and warping.
