Electrical connecting apparatus

An electrical connecting apparatus, comprising:

• a housing, at least one passageway being set on the housing, at least two ribs being set in the passageways;
• and
• a plurality of electrical contacts, set in the passageways, respectively, the electrical contact having a base portion located underneath the rib, a gap is formed between the base portion and the rib, a pair of elastic clip arms being formed by extending upwards from two sides of the base portion and clipping both sides of the rib, respectively, and the inner sides of both ends of said elastic clip arms forming opposite contact surfaces, respectively.

An electrical connecting apparatus, set on a circuit board, used for providing electric contacts for an electronic device, comprising:

• a housing, at least one passageway being set on the housing, at least two ribs being set in the passageways, and within the passageways, at least one holding space being formed between two adjacent ribs;
• and
• a plurality of electrical contacts, set in the passageways, respectively, portions of at least two electrical contacts being accommodated in the same holding space, the electrical contact having a base portion located underneath the rib and electrically contacting the circuit board, a pair of elastic clip arms being formed by extending upwards from the base portion and clipping both sides of the rib, respectively, the inner sides of both ends of said elastic clip arms forming opposite contact surfaces corresponding to the plug portions of the electronic device, respectively, and when the paired contact portions of each said electrical contact make contact with the electronic device, the contact surfaces of each said electrical contact move to the opposite direction.
