Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulating housing and a plurality of contacts received in the insulating housing. Each contact has a first terminal and a second terminal which has a base portion and a leading arm extending from said base portion. Said base portion and a leading arm define a receiving space for receiving said first terminal. The leading arm has at least one mating bender protruding into said receiving space. The mating bender has a smooth convexity on an inner surface of said receiving space for mating with the first terminal, which alleviates the abrasion between said first terminal and said second terminal and brings a stable connection between the first terminal and the second terminal.
Claims15
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulating housing having a plurality of receiving passageways;
- a plurality of contacts received in said receiving passageways, each contact having a first terminal and a second terminal having a receiving space for receiving said first terminal, said second terminal having at least one convexity formed on an inner surface of said receiving space for mating with said first terminal.
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a plurality of passageways;
- a plurality of terminal sets disposed in the corresponding passageways, respectively;
- each of said terminal sets including:
- a barrel type contact formed by metal sheet and forming a main section essentially defining four sides in a cross-section, and an upper section located above said main section and essentially defining only two opposite sides in the cross-section, said upper section being equipped with opposite upper and lower narrowed regions;
- and
- a blade type contact vertically moveably received in the main section and the upper section under a condition that upper and lower portions of said blade type contact are respectively restricted by said narrowed regions.
