An electrical connector includes a wafer having flexible members that
allow the wafer to expand or contract in response to movement of solder
pads on a PCB. As a PCB to which a connector is attached is heated
during, for example, normal use, it may expand, which may result in the
outward movement of the solder balls at the point of connection with the
PCB. The flexible members in the wafer enable the wafer to likewise
expand so that it does not impede the movement of the solder connections
and cause a stress to be placed on the solder connections at the PCB
connection point.
