Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulating housing having sidewalls and end walls for defining a receiving groove, a number of contacts retained in the insulating housing, the contact including a mating beam extending into the receiving groove and a retaining beam retained in the sidewall. The contact further includes a tail portion extending out of the insulating housing from the retaining beam and a soldering portion formed on a tip end of the tail portion. The soldering portion is located between a highest point and a lowest point of the contact so that the height of the electrical connector upon a PCB can be reduced, which can also reduce the mating-height of the electrical connector after mating with a mating connector.
