An electrical connector for a pin grid-array package includes a base housing having terminals arranged in the same grid pattern as the lead pins of the pin grid-array package and a cover mounted on the base housing for slidable movement relative to the base housing. The cover has through holes therein for receiving the lead pins of the pin grid-array package. The electrical connector includes an actuator for sliding the cover relative to the base housing between a first, pin-insertion position and a second, contact-engagement position. The electrical connector includes an overtravel preventor for limiting movement overtravel of the cover relative to the base housing. The overtravel preventor includes a recessed portion, and a protruded portion which is movably accommodated within the recessed portion over a range of motion having the first insertion position and the second engagement position as its end points. The invention may also include a guide mechanism for limiting lateral movement between the cover and the base housing.
