An electrical connector assembly includes a female connector () and a male connector () mating with each other. Each of the female connector and the male connector includes a housing () and a number of terminals () secured in the housing. The housing has a number of channels and a number of standoffs () arranged alternately along a lengthwise direction, and a number of indentations () each defined beside a corresponding standoff. Two adjacent standoffs are staggered. Each terminal has a contacting section. The contacting sections of the terminals of the female connector contact with those of the terminals of the male connector. The standoffs of the male connector engage with the indentations of the female connector.

Electrical connector assembly for blind mating for board to board use

An electrical connector mating with a counterpart connector includes: an insulating housing having sidewalls and endwalls to define a receiving room and a number of contacts retained in the insulating housing. The contact has a first mating portion retained on an outer surface of the sidewall and a second mating portion retained on an inner surface of the sidewall to face the receiving room. The first mating portion and the second mating portion define a U-shaped structure riding on the sidewall. A gap is defined between said first mating portion and the sidewall so that the first mating portion can flexible move in the gap to absorb a dimensional tolerance during the mating process and get a stable connection with the counterpart connector.

Electrical connector with improved contacts

A battery connector () is generally assembled in a corner of a case and includes contacts () of the battery connector () each have a mating portion () defining a rib in the center of the mating portion (). An insulative housing () defining a plurality of slots () receiving the contacts () therein has recesses () in the slots (). When the contacts () is pressed by a battery, the rib () is plunged into the recess ().

Battery connector with spacing structure limiting displacement of pressed contacts of battery connector

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing () defining a longitudinal direction, a plurality of terminals () arranged along the longitudinal direction. Each of the terminals defines a retaining portion () with barbs interfering with the housing along a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, a contacting portion () and a connecting portion () connecting with the retaining portion and the contacting portion. The connecting portion is narrower than the other portions along the transverse direction.

Electrical connector and electrical connector assembly having terminals with elasticity

An electrical connector includes: an insulating housing having a plurality of passageways; a plurality of contacts retained in the passageways of the insulating housing, the contact having a retaining beam engaged with the insulating housing, a first contacting beam extending from the retaining beam, a second contacting beam opposite to the first contacting beam and a connecting portion connected with the first and second contacting beam. The second contacting beam and the connecting portion define an acute angle between 10&#xb0; to 40&#xb0; to make the contact in a low profile. The insulating housing has a blocking portion with a large thickness protruding into the passageway to downwardly block the second contacting beam from upwardly moving.
