A receptacle includes a conductive seat and a contact unit. The conductive seat has a body portion and two supporting portions, the body portion has a front end, a rear end and two side ends, the body portion is formed with a passageway which is positioned between the front end and the rear end, the two supporting portions integrally extend outwardly from the two side ends respectively, each supporting portion has a mounting surface which is positioned at a bottom portion of the supporting portion and a plurality of connecting legs which extend downwardly from the mounting surface. The contact unit is provided in the passageway of the body portion.

Receptacle having a conductive seat for coupling to a circuit board

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, and a pair of contacts which are secured together by a clamp mounted within the housing. Each electrical contact includes a planar body, spring fingers extending from a first end of the body, and a coupling extending from the body to couple the electrical contacts to the housing. A first deflection zone between the clamp and first ends of the spring fingers allows the spring fingers to deflect in a lateral direction to receive the conductive component within the receiving space. A second deflection zone between the first ends of the spring fingers and the second ends of the bodies allow the bodies and spring fingers to deflect in the lateral direction when the conductive component is received within the receiving space, but the conductive component is not directly aligned with the receiving space.

Electrical connector

Contact for a connector

A socket connector is configured to mount to a component, such as a printed circuit board. The socket connector includes a base having a passageway and a channel extending outwardly from the passageway, a barrel including a wall having a flange extending outwardly therefrom, at least one biasing member engaging the flange and surrounding the wall, and a contact seated within the barrel. The wall is seated within the passageway and the flange is seated within the channel. The barrel is configured for movement within the base to align a centerline of a pin inserted into the socket connector with a centerline of the hole of the component.

Floating socket connector

Socket connector

An electrical connector includes a cage, a body, positioned in the cage, and several terminals positioned on the body. The body has a front end and opposing rear end. The cage also has a front end and a rear end corresponding to the front and rear end of the body. The cage includes a top plate, a bottom plate and two lateral plates. A rear cover corresponding to the rear end of the body bend and extends from a rear end of the top plate of the cage. Two soldering pieces bend and extend from a bottom end of the rear cover toward the front end of the cage.
