An electrical connector includes a plug (10) having a number of contact pins (12) and a jack (15) having a corresponding number of receptacle contacts (24). Each of the receptacle contacts (24) has a parallel portion (24c) and a widened portion (24b). A contact pressing member (22) having partition walls (22b) is movable so that when the contact pressing member (22) is in a first position (Figure 8A), the partition walls (22b) are positioned adjacent the parallel portions (24c) of the receptacle contacts (24) to allow an easy insertion of the contact pins (12) (Figure 8B) and, when the contact pressing member is moved to a second position (Figure 8C), the partition walls (22b) are moved to the widened portions (24b) of the receptacle contacts (24) so that they urge the widened portions (22b) together and, therefore, the receptacle contacts (24) are pressed into tight contact with the contact pins (12). |
