The electrical connector () comprises at least one female contact terminal () extending at least partially perpendicular to the mating direction () in an extension direction (). The female contact terminal () comprises a distal portion () with two flexible spring arms () extending in extension direction (). An engagement portion () is formed between the flexible spring arms () and is adapted to engage a corresponding male terminal () of the counter connector (). The electrical connector () further comprises a connector housing () comprising at least one terminal cavity (), adapted to house the female contact terminal (). The terminal cavity () is adapted to essentially prevent movement of the female contact terminal () parallel to both, the mating direction () and the extension direction ().
