Abstract
A socket connector for carrying an integrated circuit package includes an insulative housing, a stiffener surrounding the housing, a load plate pivotably assembled with one end of the stiffener and a load lever pivotably attached to the other end of the stiffener. The load plate defines a pair of pressing portions. Each of the pressing portions defines a wider part and a narrower part. During the rotation process of the load plate, the wider part firstly presses a pressing point of the IC package. A critical point, on which the wider part firstly presses, is ascertained that a distance from the critical point to a center of the IC package is approximately 5/24 of the entire length along the same direction. The pressing point is within a range from the critical point to the center of the IC package.
