Claim:
1. An electrical connector for use within a machine case comprising: an insulator defining opposite top and bottom surfaces thereon in a vertical direction; a plurality of contacts retained to the insulator via an insert molding process and arranged along a transverse direction perpendicular to said vertical direction, each of said contacts stamped and bent from sheet metal and unitarily formed with an upper contacting section exposed upon the top surface, and a lower contacting sections exposed upon the bottom surface, each of said upper contacting section and said lower contacting section extending along a longitudinal direction perpendicular to both said vertical direction and said transverse direction; wherein each of the upper contacting section and the lower contacting section is planar and stationary; wherein one of said upper contacting section and said lower contacting section defines an outer end exposed to an exterior for originally linking to a contact carrier; wherein said some of the contacts are divided into at least two opposite groups, and the upper contacting sections in one group are offset away from those in the other group in said transverse direction in a symmetrical manner with regard to a centerline between said two groups.
