Abstract
An electrical connector ( ) includes: an insulative base ( ) having a top surface ( ), a bottom surface ( ), and a plurality of passageways ( ); a cover ( ) slidably mounted on the base; a plurality of conductive terminals ( ) received in the passageways; and an actuating device ( ). Each passageway is bounded by two opposite first walls ( ), two opposite second walls ( ), and a bottom wall ( ). Each first wall defines a through slot ( ), and one of the second walls forms a slanted guiding portion ( ) spanning from the top surface to adjacent the bottom wall. The bottom wall forms a chamfer portion ( ). The guiding portion and the chamfer portion cooperate to protect the corresponding terminal and the base from damage when the terminal is inserted into the passageway.
