Electrical connector with improved contacts

摘要

An electrical connector mounted on a printed circuit board including an insulative housing ( 1 ) provided with a receiving cavity ( 16 ) and a number of passageways ( 121 ), and a number of contacts retained in the housing. The contacts have a first contact ( 21 ) including a first base portion ( 210 ) and a first soldering portion ( 213 ) extending downwardly from the first base portion, a second contact ( 22 ) having a second base portion ( 220 ) and a second soldering portion ( 223 ) extending downwardly from the second base portion. The first soldering portion includes a first protrusion portion ( 216 ) projecting from only one side edge thereof along a first direction. The second soldering portion includes a second protrusion portion ( 226 ) projecting from only one side edge thereof along a second direction opposite to the first direction. The first protrusion portion and the second protrusion portion together form a latch portion for fixing with the printed circuit board.
