ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH IMPROVED CONTACT STRUCTURES

摘要

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and at least one first contact received in the insulative housing. The insulative housing includes a main body and a first mating port extending from the main body. The at least one first contact includes a first mating portion partially exposed into the first mating port, a first intermediate portion extending rearward from the first mating portion and received in the main body, and a first termination portion bending downward from the first intermediate portion and exposed beyond the insulative housing. The first intermediate portion includes a first lower horizontal section, a first upper horizontal section parallel to the first lower horizontal section, and a first connecting portion connecting the first lower horizontal section and the first upper horizontal section. The first lower horizontal section is formed with a first lower widened section, and the first upper horizontal section is formed with a first upper widened section.

主权项

1. An electrical connector, comprising:
an insulative housing comprising a main body and a first mating port extending from the main body, the first mating port defining a first receiving space therein, and the main body defining at least one front first receiving passage communicating with the first receiving space and at least one rear first receiving channel spaced from the front first receiving passage along a front-to-back direction and an up-to-down direction; at least one first contact comprising a first mating portion partially exposed into the first receiving space of the first mating port, a first intermediate portion extending rearward from the first mating portion and received in the first receiving passage and the first receiving channel, and a first termination portion bending downward from the first intermediate portion and exposed beyond the insulative housing; and wherein the first intermediate portion comprises a first lower horizontal section received in the first receiving passage, a first upper horizontal section parallel to the first lower horizontal section and received in the first receiving channel, and a first connecting portion connecting the first lower horizontal section and the first upper horizontal section and extending between the first receiving passage and the first receiving channel, and wherein the first lower horizontal section is formed with a first lower widened section to interferentially engage with the first receiving passage, and the first upper horizontal section is formed with a first upper widened section to interferentially engage with the first receiving channel.
