ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH DIFFERENT PITCH TERMINALS

摘要

An electrical connector ( 20 ) mounted on a substrate ( 20 b) defining holes ( 22 ) includes a base ( 30 ) and first and second terminals ( 62, 84 ) attached to the base. Each terminal has a retention portion ( 622 ) and a pair of curved arms ( 624, 626 ) extending from opposite ends of the retention portion. The pair of curved arms are respectively formed with upper and lower contact portions ( 623, 625 ). Each terminal has a securing portion ( 842 ) and upper and lower mating portions ( 844, 848 ) extending from opposite ends of the securing portion. Certain second terminals each have a bent portion ( 846 ) to make the pitch between the lower mating portions of two adjacent second terminals larger than that between the upper contact portions of two adjacent first terminals, thereby conveniently and safely drilling the holes of the substrate in which the lower mating portions are secured.
