Electrical connector with enhanced contacts

摘要

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing (30) and a plurality of contacts (10). The housing has a plurality of cavities (36) arranged in two vertical stacks (54, 56), each stack being separated by thin walls (34) of the housing. Each contact has a main body (11), a contact portion (12) for mating with a mating connector, and a mounting member (15) extending perpendicularly from the main body. The mounting member protrudes from a bottom surface (46) of the housing. A plate-like support finger (18) extends obliquely from the main body. The support finger has a suspending end (19) parallel to the main body and extending toward the mounting member. The suspending end bears against a lower wall of the corresponding cavity, thereby preventing the main body from moving downwardly relative to the contact.
