<p>A socket (6) for an electronic package (2) comprises a dielectric housing (10) having contacts (20) each with a surface mount section (50) extending below a bottom surface (14) of the housing for engagement with a respective circuit trace on a circuit board. The surface mount section (50) of each contact has a convex bottom surface (52) with a shape which simulates at least a lower surface portion of a solder ball, whereby the socket imitates the footprint of a ball grid array package.</p> |
