Abstract
A land grid array (LGA) connector () according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an insulative housing (), a stiffener () coupled to the housing, and a plurality of ribs () projecting from a periphery edge of the housing. The stiffener defines an opening () for surrounding the housing. Each of the ribs has a base defining a mating surface () and a mounting surface (). The stiffener is coupled to the housing by the rib mating surface abutting against a wall face () of the stiffener opening, and the rib mounting surface resting on a peripheral edge () of the stiffener that defines the opening. As such, a reliable coupling between the stiffener and the housing is achieved, thereby having no possibility of releasing the housing from the stiffener by an external, improper force.
