Electrical connector having terminals with reduced height

An electrical connector, configured to electrically connect a first electronic component with a second electronic component, the electrical connector comprising:

• a body, having a plurality of accommodating holes running vertically therethrough, wherein each of the accommodating holes is provided with an upper position limiting surface and a lower position limiting surface;
• and
• a plurality of conductive terminals, vertically movably accommodated in the accommodating holes, wherein each respective conductive terminal of the conductive terminals comprises:
• a flat plate portion, protrudingly provided with an upper position limiting portion and a lower position limiting portion, wherein the upper position limiting portion is located above the upper position limiting surface, and the lower position limiting portion is located below the lower position limiting surface, so as to limit a vertical movement of the respective conductive terminal;
• an upper elastic arm formed by bending and extending backward and upward from the flat plate portion, wherein the upper elastic arm has an upper contact portion configured to upward abut the first electronic component;
• and
• a lower elastic arm formed by bending and extending backward and downward from the flat plate portion, wherein the lower elastic arm has a lower contact portion configured to downward abut the second electronic component, the upper elastic arm and the lower elastic arm are both located at a rear side of the flat plate portion, and a through slot extends from the upper elastic arm through the flat plate portion to the lower elastic arm,
• wherein the through slot extends and is in continuous communication through the upper elastic arm, the flat plate portion and the lower elastic arm, and the through slot passes through a location connecting the upper elastic arm and the flat plate portion and a location connecting the flat plate portion and the lower elastic arm.
