Patent attributes
An LGA connector contact (30) includes a base (31), and a pair of spring arms (32) extending from the base. Each of the spring arms includes an extending section (320), a connecting section (321), and a contacting section (322) adapted for engaging a circuit board's contact pad. The contacting section has an exterior side and an interior side with a recess (323) on the exterior side of the contacting section around a middle portion of the contacting section so as to define at least a pair of contact regions (324) adjacent the recess. The LGA contacting portion is configured to have its contact regions electrically engage with an un-oxidized portion of the circuit board's contact pad, thereby achieving an effective electrical connection between the LGA connector contact and the corresponding circuit board pad.
