Abstract
A ball grid array connector having an insulative housing with a plurality of contacts in electrical connection with corresponding solder balls that protrude from a surface of the housing. The solder balls form a soldering region for attachment to a circuit board. The housing has a center of gravity biased from a center of the soldering region, and a positional compensation member is attached to the housing and the circuit board. The positional compensation member prevents the housing from becoming inclined with respect to the circuit board when the solder balls are attached to the circuit board and prevents the housing from becoming inclined with respect to an electronic part when the electronic part is mounted to the housing on a side opposite from the circuit board.
