Compression connector configured with three housing for retaining terminals there between

摘要

A compression connector for connecting two PCBs includes an insulative housing and a plurality of terminals received in the housing. Each terminal includes a retaining section and two spring contacting sections extending from opposite ends of the retaining section and exposing beyond mating surface of the housing. The insulative housing includes a base housing and a pair of matching housing sandwich the base housing from opposite directions to retain the retaining sections in said three housings such that the terminals can be well retained therein.

1. A compression connector comprising:
an insulative housing defining a first mating surface, a second mating surface opposite to the first mating surface, and a plurality of passageways disposed between and running through the first and second mating surfaces, the insulative housing comprising at least a base housing and two matching housing assembled to the base housing; and a plurality of terminals received in the passageways, each of the terminals comprising a retaining section, two spring sections formed at two opposite sides of the retaining section, and a pair of contacting sections extending from the spring sections and projecting outwards the first and second mating surfaces respectively; wherein each of the matching housings matches with the base housing in a matching direction to form said passageways, the retaining sections of the terminals are retained between the base housing and the corresponding matching housing in said matching direction; wherein said two matching housings match with opposite sides of the base housing respectively, the base housing defines a set of tubers and each of the matching housings defines a set of notches corresponding to tubers in the matching direction, and said retaining sections are retained between the tubers and the notches.
