Abstract
An electrical connector includes a plurality of contacts and an insulative housing defining a plurality of cavities therethrough for receiving the contacts therein. Each contact includes a soldering tail at an end thereof, a contacting portion at an opposite end thereof and a transition portion between the soldering tail and the contacting portion. A twist portion is provided between the transition portion and the soldering tail for conveniently forming a wide contacting portion, while at the same time forming wide gaps between adjacent soldering tails. The wide contacting portions provide reliable contact with mating contacts of a mating connector. The wide gaps prevent unwanted bridging of the soldering tails during the soldering process. The housing comprises a main body and a pair of slots respectively defined at opposite ends of the main body. A pair of metal ears is respectively secured in the slots for attaching the housing onto a PCB.
