Abstract
A low-profile receptacle connector for use in making a required electric connection between an integrated circuit package and a printed circuit board includes a terminal housing part that is sandwiched between the integrated circuit package and the printed circuit board, and the terminal housing part has terminals embedded therein. Each terminal includes a flat trunk and at least one cantilever-like contact arm integrally connected to its flat trunk. The terminals are arranged with their flat trunks parallel to the plane of the terminal housing part, and are supported by the terminal housing part by allowing the mold to overhang the opposite lateral and longitudinal edges of the trunk of each terminal.
