To provide an electric component socket in which a pressing surface of a pressing member is prevented from contacting a contact pin when the socket is pressed by the pressing surface in a state where a first electric component is not housed in the socket. A pressing surface of a pressing mechanism contacts a first electric component when the pressing mechanism is moved downward in a state where the first electric component is housed in a plate. On the other hand, when the pressing mechanism is moved downward in a state where the first electric component is not housed in the plate, a push-up member is lifted up with the plate to push up the pressing surface. Therefore, the pressing surface is moved upward to prevent the pressing surface from contacting the contact pin.

An electrical connector includes a first set of conductors, a first overmolding in physical contact with a body portion of each of the first set of conductors, a second set of conductors, a second overmolding in physical contact with the body portion of each of the second set of conductors, and a spacer in contact with the first overmolding and the second overmolding. A gap is present between the spacer and at least one of the first set of conductors and a gap between the spacer and at least one of the second set of conductors.

The present disclosure provides an electrical connector. The electrical connector includes an insulating body and one or more reinforcing members. The insulating body comprises a pair of side portions which extend in a longitudinal direction, and a pair of tower portions which are connected to respective ends of the pair of side portions. The pair of side portions and the pair of tower portions form a longitudinal card slot. The ends of the card slot extend into the pair of tower portions respectively. A reinforcing member may be arranged in a tower portion. When an electronic card is inserted into the card slot, the one or more reinforcing members can maintain the shape of the tower portions and prevent deformation or cracking of the tower portions when the electronic card is impacted by an external force.

An electrical connector comprises an insulative shell having a floor; a first plurality of contacts extending through the floor, wherein the first plurality of contacts are disposed in a plurality of columns; a second plurality of contacts extending through the floor, wherein the second plurality of contacts are interspersed with the first plurality of contacts within the plurality of columns; and a conductive member adjacent the floor. The conductive member comprises a first plurality of openings, wherein the first plurality of contacts extend through the openings of the first plurality of openings; a second plurality of openings, wherein the second plurality of contacts extend through the openings of the second plurality of openings; and a first plurality of tabs, extending into openings in the insulative shell.
