摘要

Disclosed is an electrical socket connector including an insulative housing ( 1 ) with a plurality of passageways ( 101 ) extending from a top mating interface ( 10 a) toward a mounting interface ( 10 b). A plurality of terminals ( 2 ) is inserted into the respective passageways from the mating interface to the mounting interface. Each of the terminals includes a main body ( 20 ), a lower contact engaging portion ( 21 ) extending downwardly from the main body. Guiding means ( 102 ) are formed between the terminal and the passageway and adjacent the contact engaging portion such that during the insertion of the terminal into the passageway, said guiding means and the terminal begin to mate at a location that the contact engaging portion of the terminal does not enter the passageway.
