Abstract
An electrical connector with a plurality of contacts is provided wherein it offers improved contact reliability of a contact arm portion with a circuit board and allows for a longer arm length of the contact arm portion for a length along a horizontal direction of the housing. First and second resilient contact arms A, B extending in parallel to each other substantially obliquely from a first end of a base toward and above a second end of the base . Contact portions at respective free ends of the contact arms, the contact portions are configured to insure that an electrical connection is made and maintained with a circuit board mounted thereon. The positions of the fixed end of the first and second resilient contact arms A, B are offset in horizontal and vertical directions to allow the contacts to have the resiliency required while minimizing the dimensions of the housing.
