Contact for electrical connector

An electrical connector assembly comprising:

• a body defining a cavity therein;
• a daughter board disposed in the cavity;
• a mother board on which the body is seated;
• and
• a terminal received in the cavity, said terminal including a body portion with retention means retaining the terminal in the cavity, an upper arm projecting from an upper end of the body portion and extending generally in a vertical direction and engaged with the daughter board with a first reaction force thereof, a lower arm projecting from a lower end of the body portion and extending generally in a horizontal direction and engaged with the mother board with a second reaction force thereof, said body portion defining a main plane with a transverse dimension, along a width direction thereof, much larger than that defined along a thickness direction of said body portion;
• wherein
• said first reaction force and said second reaction force are configured to have two respective associated bending moments somewhat counterbalanced so as to assure reliability of retention of the terminal in the cavity, axis directions of said two bending moments are essentially perpendicular to said main plane.
