Abstract
An electrical connector (1) for mating with a mating connector includes an insulating housing (10), a number of electrical contacts (20) received in the housing (10). The housing (10) has a mating face (11), a mounting face (12), two opposite side walls (13) for connecting the mating face and the mounting face, a receiving space (15) depressed in the mating face is formed between the side walls. A guidance face (17) is formed on the inner face (131) of the sidewalls extending from the mating face to the deep-lever of the receiving space, which includes an arc face (171) and a slant face (172) tangent to the arc face. Each contact has a contact face (221) exposed to the receiving space.
Claims12
An electrical connector comprising:
- a housing having a mating face, a mounting face opposite to the mating face, and two opposite sidewalls connecting the mating face with the mounting face, a receiving space depressed in the mating face and formed between the two sidewalls, each sidewall having a guidance face formed in an inner surface thereof from the mating face to the deep-lever of the receiving space and the guidance face comprising an arc face and a slant surface tangent to the arc face;
- and
- a plurality of contacts received in the housing and each of that comprising a mounting portion projecting out of the mounting face and a mating portion having a contacting face exposed in the receiving space.
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing defining two opposite longitudinal walls with a receiving space therebetween;
- a curved guiding corner formed on a top portion of each of said longitudinal walls adjacent to said receiving space;
- and
- a plurality of contacts disposed in the two opposite longitudinal walls, each of said contacts defining a mating portion parallel to an inner surface of the corresponding longitudinal wall facing the receiving space;
- wherein
- a mating surface of the mating portion of each of said contacts is flush with the corresponding inner surface.
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing defining two opposite longitudinal walls with a receiving space therebetween;
- a plurality of contacts disposed in the two opposite longitudinal walls, each of said contacts defining a mating portion parallel to an inner surface of the corresponding longitudinal wall facing the receiving space;
- and
- a guidance surface formed on an inner top portion of each of said longitudinal walls adjacent to said receiving space;
- wherein
- said guidance surface defines a curve portion starting from a top face of the housing downwardly, and a slanted portion extending from a bottom end of the curved portion and terminated at the inner surface of the corresponding longitudinal wall.
