    a multiplicity of conductive contacts;

    the housing defining with a conductive district for electrically connecting with a CPU and a PCB;

    the conductive district comprising a mating surface and a mounting surface opposite to the mating surface;

    a plurality of passageways extending vertically through said conductive district to receive corresponding contacts therein; and

    the contact imposing a force in a direction against a first wall face beside the passageway when the contact is downwardly pressed;

    wherein for each of said passageways, a pair of stand-offs vertically extend respectively from a pair of second wall faces which are located by two sides of the first wall face, and also along the direction horizontally;

    wherein the pair of stand-offs are not connected to but isolated from the pair of neighboring stand-offs in said direction, and no stand-off extends along another horizontal direction perpendicular to said direction so that no stand-off is formed along the first wall;

    wherein each contact comprises a vertical retention portion retained in the first wall of the passageway, a pair of spring arms obliquely extending from two opposite sides of the retention portion, respectively;
