Electrical connector assembly

An connector assembly, comprising:

• a circuit board, the circuit board including a through-hole and a plurality of soldering portions disposed adjacent to opposite sides of the through-hole;
• a connector mounted on the circuit board, the connector including two housings configured as plate-like bodies, each housing comprising a bottom surface, an upper surface opposite to the bottom surface, an end portion, opposite side portions, a plurality of openings formed from the upper surface to the bottom surface and being adjacent to the end portion, and two protrusions disposed respectively on the side portions;
• and
• a plurality of terminals corresponding to the openings of the two insulating bodies, each terminal comprising a base portion including a soldering portion and opposite first and second edges, two attaching portions extending parallel to a direction from the second edge to the first edge, two connecting portions respectively disposed adjacent to opposite ends of the first edge and correspondingly connecting the first edge and the attaching portions, and an elastic arm portion including a contact part and extending, from a location between the ends of the first edge, upward and along the direction from the second edge to the first edge with the contact part above the corresponding opening;
• wherein the two attaching portions of each terminal are attached to the corresponding housing, disposed adjacent to the corresponding end portion and respectively on opposite sides of the corresponding opening and wherein the base portion and the connecting portions of each terminal are disposed outside the corresponding end portion;
• wherein the attaching portions of each terminal are lower than the corresponding base portion, the soldering portions of the circuit board are on an upper surface of the circuit board and the protrusions of each housing are against the upper surface of the circuit board and wherein a portion of each housing is in the through-hole, the connecting portions of each terminal are adjacent to and separated from a corresponding side wall defining the through-hole, and the soldering portions of the terminals are solderable to the corresponding soldering portions of the circuit board.

A connector, comprising:

• a housing configured as a plate-like body, comprising a bottom surface, an upper surface opposite the bottom surface, an end portion, opposite side portions, and an opening formed from the upper surface to the bottom surface and being adjacent to the end portion;
• and
• a terminal comprising a base portion including a soldering portion and opposite first and second edges, two attaching portions extending parallel to a direction from the second edge to the first edge and configured to have a height different from that of the base portion, two connecting portions respectively disposed adjacent to opposite ends of the first edge and correspondingly connecting the first edge and the attaching portions, and an elastic arm portion including a contact part and extending, from a location between the ends of the first edge, upward and along the direction from the second edge to the first edge with the contact part above the opening;
• wherein the two attaching portions of the terminal are attached to the housing, disposed adjacent to the end portion of the housing and respectively on opposite sides of the opening and wherein the base portion and the connecting portions of the terminal are disposed outside the end portion of the housing.
