SMT contact for a ZIF socket

摘要

A ZIF socket (1) for receiving pins (6) of a CPU includes a dielectric base (3), a cover (4) movably mounted on the dielectric base, and a plurality of contacts (2) received in the base. Each contact comprises a soldering section (20), a retaining section (21) secured within a passageway (30) of the base, a connecting section (23), and a contacting section (22) for electrically connecting with the pin. An L-shaped portion (25) is formed by the contacting section and the connecting section. A guiding section (24) extends along an inner edge of the L-shaped portion and is coined in a blade-shape.
