Abstract
A socket connector ( ) includes a base ( ) defining an array of terminal cells ( ), a number of conductive contacts ( ) received in the respective terminal cells, a cover ( ) slidably mounted on the base and a driving device ( ) sandwiched between the cover and the base for driving the cover to move relative to the base. The cover has a supporting surface ( ) for supporting a CPU ( ) and defines an array of pin holes ( ) corresponding to the terminal cells for insertion of pins ( ) of the CPU therethrough. A standoff is formed on each of peripheral edges of the supporting surface, and a number of small-dimensioned supporting posts ( ) and large-dimensioned supporting posts ( ) are formed on the supporting surface within the outline positions of the standoffs for supporting the CPU mounted on the socket connector. The standoff and the supporting posts have the same height.
