Electrical connector

摘要

An electrical connector includes an insulating housing defining a plurality of terminal grooves each extending along a front-to-rear direction. A plurality of terminals includes a plurality of flat terminals made by stamping and bending metal strips and a plurality of spring terminals made by die-cutting upright metal boards of long rectangular shape. Each spring terminal is inserted forward and uprightly positioned in the corresponding terminal groove of the insulating housing without being pressed and bent. The flat terminals are molded in the insulating housing with front ends thereof acted as contacting ends and exposed outside. A lid is mounted to a back of the insulating housing for positioning a rear of the spring terminal. A latch is inserted forward in the insulating housing. A shielding shell is mounted to the insulating housing and electrically connects with the latch.
