Conductive terminal assembly and electrical connector

An electrical connector, comprising:

• a housing;
• and
• a conductive terminal assembly installed in the housing, the conductive terminal assembly including at least three layers of conductive terminals, each layer of conductive terminals having a terminal body, one or more elastic arms extending from the terminal body, and a contact end at an end of each elastic arm distal from the terminal body in a first direction, the terminal bodies of the at least three layers of conductive terminals are overlapped with each other in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the contact ends of the at least three layers of conductive terminals are at least partially staggered and arranged in a third direction perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction, the contact ends are capable of electrically contacting a mating component, a number of the at least three layers of conductive terminals is N, where N is a natural number greater than or equal to 3, at least two of N elastic arms arranged adjacent to each other in the third direction are at least partially overlapped with each other in the second direction.
