LOW PROFILE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR

摘要

An electrical connector (10) includes a dielectric housing (12) having a terminal-receiving passage (22) defining a terminal-insertion axis for receiving a mating terminal member (58). A stamped and formed sheet metal contact member (28) has a contact end (38) disposed in the passage and a terminal end (36) projecting from the housing. The housing has top and bottom walls (14, 16), with the terminal-receiving passage extending in a direction therebetween. A slot (24) is provided in a side wall of the housing communicating with the passage. The contact end of the contact member is inserted into the slot and is generally planar and has a terminal-receiving slot. The plane of the contact end and the slot are disposed generally transverse to the terminal-insertion axis. <IMAGE>
