Abstract text

An electrical connector includes a socket body, a retention frame adjacent to the socket body, and a load plate attached to the retention frame and capable of rotating toward or away from the socket from an open position to a close position. A number of contacts are attached to the socket body and each has a base section, a retention section extending upwardly from the base section, a contact section bending from the retention section, and a tail section extending downwardly from the base section. The tail section includes a stick section and a reinforcement section bending from the stick section for increasing the rigidity of the tail section.
