ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR COMPRISING COMBINATION OF INDIVIDUAL MATING AND PIN ELEMENTS AS A CONTACT MEMBER

摘要

For electrically connecting a conductive terminal member (13) to an electric circuit board (12), an electrical connector includes a contact member (30) which comprises a terminal pin element (31) and a mating contact element (32) as individual parts. The terminal pin element is inserted into a through hole (14) and secured to the electric circuit board by soldering. The mating contact element is mated with the terminal pin element within an insulator housing (16) so that it is possible to correct position error of a contact portion (42) of the mating contact element. The conductive terminal member is inserted into the insulator housing and brought into contact with a contact portion of the mating contact element. As a result, electrical connection is reliably made between the terminal member and an electrical circuit on the electric circuit board.
