An electrical connector () for electrically connecting with a modular plug () includes an insulative housing () having a receiving cavity () and a resisting block () formed in the receiving cavity and having a curved surface (). A number of contacts () is mounted in the receiving cavity. Each contact has a mating portion () extending into the receiving cavity and cantilevered above the resisting block. The modular plug is engaged with the mating portion and presses the mating portion to the resisting block when the modular plug is inserted into the receiving cavity. When the plug connector is inserted into the receiving cavity, the mating potion abuts against the curved surface.

Electrical connector having an improved housing having a curved structure

An electrical connector comprises a dielectric housing and a number of contacts received in the housing. The housing defines three aligned apertures and a partition is provided between two proximate aperture. The housing defines four recesses equiangularly disposed in a periphery of each aperture and two selected recesses thereof are respectively recessed in two partitions beside the aperture. Therefor each contact is received in a corresponding aperture and abuts against parts of the periphery of the aperture that are not recessed therein while being spaced from the partition. Thus, stress exerted on the partitions is limited thereby preventing the partitions from being crushed by the contacts.
