Abstract

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing defining a plurality of spaced channels for receiving and retaining conductive spring contacts therein. Each contact is U-shaped and has an anchoring section fixed in the corresponding channel and an engaging section resiliently attached to the anchoring section by a U-shaped bent section and partially extending beyond the housing for engaging with an electronic device. An opening is defined in the bent section through which a wire extends with a conductive core of the wire being fixed to the anchoring section whereby the engaging section overlaps the wire for reducing the space occupied thereby. The engaging section has a free end having side projections received and retained in recesses defined in side walls of the corresponding channels for preloading the engaging section.
