A battery connector includes an insulating housing and a plurality of electrical terminals. The insulating housing has a top mating wall, a front wall, a rear wall and a plurality of vertical walls extend downward from the top mating wall, wherein a plurality of terminal receiving chambers are formed between each pair of the vertical, and the top mating wall has a plurality of openings respectively communicating with the terminal receiving chambers for penetrating through the terminal receiving chambers, and two opposite ends of each opening in the top mating face defines a plurality of stand-offs. The electrical terminals respectively received in the terminal receiving chambers, the electrical terminals each having a body, a conducting portion, a resilient portion, and a contacting portion, wherein the contacting portion out of the opening of the top mating wall and tower over the stand-off. With this design, the stand-offs can limit the downward movement of the contacting portions of the electrical terminals.

Provided herewith an electrical card connector includes an insulative housing defining a front portion and a rear portion with a mating interface extending therebetween. A plurality of contact is received in the housing and having their contact engaging portion extends above the mating interface. The insulative housing further defines sides between the front and rear portions. A pair of metallic positioning devices each is attached to a corresponding side of the housing, and includes a vertical portion defining a sidewall of the housing, and a top portion extending from the sidewall toward each other. A receiving space is jointly defined by the mating interface, the sidewalls, and the top portions. The top portion has rounded portion running along edges thereof.

Contact of electrical connector

Contact for electrical connector

An electrical connector () includes an insulative housing () for receiving a number of contacts (). The insulative housing has a base () extending in a longitudinal direction and a mating portion () protruding forwardly from the base. The base () defines a slot () from an intermediate position thereof and extending forwardly through the mating portion (). The mating portion () defines a receiving hole () extending into the base (). The receiving hole () is in communication with the slot (). The slot () can counteract a deformation of the insulative housing to ensure the soldering tails () of the contacts coplanar with one another, thereby ensuring the contacts to be wonderfully surface mounted on a PCB.
