## Abstract

An electrical connector includes: an insulative base; a fixed terminal secured to the insulative base; and a movable terminal including a securing portion fixed to the insulative base, a contacting portion in touch with the fixed terminal, and a tail opposite to the contacting portion, wherein the securing portion has a pair of side arms bent toward the fixed terminal and insert-molded with the insulative base.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electrical connector comprising:
an insulative base;
a fixed terminal secured to the insulative base; and
a movable terminal including a securing portion fixed to the insulative base, a contacting portion in touch with the fixed terminal, and a tail opposite to the contacting portion; wherein
the securing portion has a pair of side arms bent toward the fixed terminal and insert-molded with the insulative base.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the securing portion of the movable terminal is substantially perpendicular to the contacting portion and the tail.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fixed terminal includes a substantially vertical securing portion having a pair of side arms insert-molded with the insulative base.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The electrical connector as claimed in claim 3, wherein the fixed terminal includes a contacting portion bent to a substantially horizontal position from the securing portion thereof after the fixed terminal is insert-molded with the insulative base.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the pair of side arms is bent about 45 degrees.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, further comprising an insulative cover secured to the insulative base and covering the fixed terminal and the movable terminal.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1, further comprising an outer metallic shell enclosing the insulative cover and the insulative base.
