<p>A board-mountable electrical connector (10, 110) comprises a housing (20, 120) which holds a plurality of contacts (30, 120) in a row. Each of the contacts includes a supporting part (31, 131) that is secured to the housing, a connecting part (33, 133) disposed at one end of the supporting part for connection with a circuit board, and a contact part (32, 132) disposed at an opposite end of the supporting part for electrical contact with a mating body. The contact part extends from the supporting part with successive portions including, first, a downard-facing projection (51) adjacent to the supporting part, a projecting shape (56) extending upward to an apex (56a) and then downward to a bent part (52) at a forward end of the contact part, and an arm part (53) extending upwardly and rearwardly from the bent part to a pair of contact projections (54) which can make electrical connection with the mating body. The contact projections (54) are disposed rearwardly of the apex (56a) of the projecting shape.</p> |
