Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulating main body and terminals. Each terminal includes an upper elastic portion. An upper end of the upper elastic portion has an upper contact portion upwardly abutting against a first mating member. An upper extending portion is formed by bending and extending downward from the upper contact portion. An upper abutting portion is formed at an end portion of the upper extending portion away from the upper contact portion. An upper supporting portion is located below the upper contact portion. When the first mating member abuts against the upper contact portion, the upper abutting portion abuts against the upper supporting portion.
Claims20
An electrical connector, comprising:
- a main body, comprising a plurality of accommodating slots running through the main body along a vertical direction;
- and
- a plurality of terminals, respectively accommodated correspondingly in the accommodating slots, wherein each of the terminals comprises:
- an upper elastic portion, wherein a top portion of the upper elastic portion has an upper contact portion, and the upper contact portion is configured to upwardly abut against a first mating member;
- an upper through slot, at least partially located in the upper elastic portion, such that the upper elastic portion forms two upper branches separated by the upper through slot in a left-right direction;
- an upper extending portion, formed by bending and extending downward from the upper contact portion, wherein an upper abutting portion is formed at an end portion of the upper extending portion away from the upper contact portion;
- and
- an upper supporting portion, located below the upper contact portion, wherein when the first mating member abuts downward against the upper contact portion, the upper abutting portion abuts against the upper supporting portion;
- wherein a projection of the upper abutting portion in a front-rear direction is located in the upper through slot, such that the upper through slot is reserved for the upper abutting portion.
