Claims20
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a mating cavity recessed from a mating face towards a supporting face of a tongue portion arranged within the housing;
- and
- a central contact arranged within the housing and including a contacting part movably arranged in the tongue portion and having a mating portion extending beyond the supporting face, and a connecting part disposed within the housing and capable of intersecting with the contacting part at rear portion of the housing.
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a horizontal receiving groove and two vertical retaining slots;
- a contacting part disposed within the horizontal receiving groove and capable of moving along a mating direction relative to the housing between a first position and a second position;
- a connecting part disposed within one of the vertical retaining slots biasing the first contact at least at the second position;
- and
- a detecting part retained in the other vertical retaining slot to contact the contacting part located at the second position.
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing;
- a contacting part movably assembled to the housing;
- and
- a connecting part retained in the housing and separated from the contacting part;
- wherein the contacting part defines a contacting portion capable of moving along a mating direction relative to the housing to electrically interconnect and deflect a resilient arm extending from the connecting part thereof.
