Electrical connector having compression terminal module therein

摘要

An electrical connector (2) interconnects a first PCB (50) and a second PCB (52) arranged vertical to the first PCB, and includes an insulative housing (4) and a plurality of terminal modules (6). The insulative housing has a top surface (22) and a bottom surface (24) and a cavity (18) defined between the top surface and the bottom surface. Each terminal module is received in the cavity and comprises a first terminal (8) and a second terminal (10). The first terminal has a first limb (28) and a second limb (30), wherein the first limb projects beyond the top surface of the insulative housing for engaging the first board. The second terminal has an engaging portion (44) aligned with the second limb, and the engaging portion and the second limb define a passageway for clamping the second board therebetween.
