CONNECTOR FOR HIGH DENSITY ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLIES

摘要

An electrical connector includes a housing and a plurality of terminals secured within the housing for mounting a mating connector or an electronic module or the like having a plurality of electronic leads disposed thereon to a printed substrate. A first contact beam is cantilevered from a base portion and has a distal end, while a second contact beam is similarly cantilevered from a base portion and also has a distal end wherein a gap is formed between the distal ends of the contact beams. The leads of the mating connectors or the like are inserted into the gap for contacting engagement with the contact beams. A gap adjustment integrally connected to the base portion provides for simple adjustment of the size of the gap between the contact beams.
