Contacts for high density electric connector

摘要

Contacts for a high density electric connector are disclosed. The contacts include two types each having a body portion for engaging with a dielectric housing of the connector and a terminal portion for connecting with a printed circuit board, wherein the body portions each have an identical structure and the terminal portions are perpendicularly bent relative to the body portions in opposite directions. The second type contacts are mounted to the housing of the connector in an inverted manner with respect to the mounting manner of the first type contacts and the terminal portions of the contacts are equidistantly spaced from each other when the contacts are mounted to the housing of the connector. Each of the terminal portions extends from a rear side of a corresponding body portion from a point a distance away from a middle line defined by the corresponding body portion.
