Abstract
An electrical contact element for a connector, including a first contact end, a second contact end opposed to the first contact end, and an intermediate section integrally joining the first and second contact ends with each other. The intermediate section is provided integrally with a first projection tightly press-fitted into an electro-insulating body of the connector, and with a second projection abutted onto a surface of the connector body to permit the contact element to be fixedly supported in the connector body against an angular displacement of the contact element about the first projection. The electro-insulating body of the connector includes a base for supporting the plural electrical contact elements in a mutually isolated manner, and a pair of columns extending in the same direction from longitudinally opposed ends of the base. Each column includes a resilient part for permitting a circuit board to be snap-fitted between the columns, and a bracket for restraining a displacement of the resilient part in both directions toward and away from the opposed resilient part.
