Abstract
The present invention provides an electrical connector system for establishing electrical connection between an IC package (e.g. CPU) and a PCB. The electrical connector system comprises a base having opposing perimeter walls extending upwardly from peripheral edges of said base, a plurality of contacts and a protective plate. The perimeter walls provide a substantially continuous contact-receiving surface between said perimeter walls and the perimeter walls define a cavity therebetween above the contact-receiving surface. The plurality of contacts is arranged on the contact receiving-surface, and each including a contact engaging portion extending above the contact-receiving surface. The protective plate is floatably arranged on the perimeter walls of the base and substantially above the contact engaging portions and has a plurality of holes correlated to the contact engaging portions such that the contact engaging portion can extend through the hole when the plate is pushed toward the base.
