Abstract
An electrical connector adapted to electrically connect a conductive strip to a circuit board includes a housing having a main body with a receiving chamber, a first terminal fixed in the receiving chamber and electrically connected to the conductive strip, and a second terminal fixed on the circuit board. The first terminal has a movable contact portion extending out of the receiving chamber. The movable contact portion of the first terminal electrically contacts the second terminal while being moveable with respect to the second terminal.
Claims22
An electrical connector adapted to electrically connect a conductive strip to a circuit board, comprising:
- a housing having a main body with a receiving chamber;
- a pair of first terminals fixed in the receiving chamber and electrically connected to the conductive strip, the first terminals each having a movable contact portion extending out of the receiving chamber and a fixing portion fixing the first terminal in the receiving chamber, the movable contact portions of the pair of first terminals extend away from each other and perpendicularly from the fixing portions;
- and
- a second terminal fixed on a surface of the circuit board, the movable contact portions of the first terminals electrically contact the second terminal while the first terminals and the housing are moveable with respect to the second terminal along a first direction parallel to a plane defined by the surface of the circuit board, the second terminal has a plurality of first guide grooves, the movable contact portions of the pair of first terminals are movably inserted into the first guide grooves in the first direction.
