Abstract
An electrical connector comprises a dielectric housing (,), a number of contacts (,) in the housing, and a shield (,) enclosing the housing. Each contact comprises a contacting portion (,) for electrically contacting a corresponding terminal of a mating connector, an engaging portion (,) for securely latching within a corresponding channel, and a joining portion (,) for electrically connecting with a circuit board. The engaging portion of each contact defines a hollow area (,) symmetrical about a center line for providing the engaging portion with appropriate resilience and for allowing the engaging portion to inwardly deform. A bent portion (,) is further formed between the engaging portion and the joining portion of each contact, and has a smaller width than other portions of the contact for facilitating a bending operation by a tool and for preventing deflection of the joining portion.
