ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY WITH HOLDING MEMBER

摘要

An electrical connector assembly, adapted for electrically connecting an IC package to a printed circuit board, includes a first housing used for soldering on the printed circuit board and a frame surrounding the first housing. The first housing includes a longitudinal body and a protrusion projecting forwardly from the body. The frame defines a base and two supporting arms extending from two ends of the base, each supporting arm defines a latching bent from a top edge of a free end thereof for locking the protrusion of the first housing. The electrical connector assembly includes a longitudinal holding member, the holding member has two ends respectively connecting to the free ends of said two supporting arms so that the dimension of the opening formed between the free ends of said two supporting arms is fixed.

1. An electrical connector assembly, adapted for electrically connecting an IC package to a printed circuit board, comprising:
a first housing for soldering on the printed circuit board and including a longitudinal body and a protrusion projecting forwardly from the body; a metallic frame formed and bent from sheet metal to form a U-shaped structure in a top view, said frame attached to and surrounding the first housing and defining a base and two supporting arms extending forwardly from two opposite ends of the base, each of said supporting arms forming soldering regions for mounting to the printed circuit board; and a holding member having two ends respectively connecting to the free ends of said two supporting arms so that a transverse dimension of an opening formed between the free ends of said two supporting arms is fixed.
