Claim:
1. A right-angle electrical connector in which a plurality of conductive bar members are held side by side by an insulating board to form a type of blade, a mating part for insertion and removal of a mating connector is formed at the front part of a housing in the interior of which is formed a holding space for holding a plurality of types of blades of different lengths in the lengthwise direction of the conductive bar members, and a circuit board attachment face is provided on the bottom of the housing, having an angle that is perpendicular to said front part, the conductive bar members held on the insulating board by the various types of blades each have an arm that extends in a straight line in the insertion and removal direction and a leg that is linked via a bent part to the rear end of the arm and extends downward toward the bottom, and contact components for coming into contact with the corresponding terminals of a mating connector are formed at the front end of the arms, and contact components that are soldered to the corresponding circuit parts of the circuit board are formed at the lower end of the legs, wherein the various types of blades are such that arm-use blades in which an arm is held and leg-use blades in which a leg is held are linked at the bent parts of the conductive bar members so that the blade planes form an angle, the plurality of types of blades are such that the lengths of the legs and the arms of the conductive bar members of the various types of blades are set so that the arm-use blades are successively positioned in the vertical direction and the leg-use blades in the longitudinal direction with spaces in between, the housing is such that holding grooves are formed that permit the arm-use blades of the various types of blades to be inserted from the rear, and connection components provided to the lower ends of the legs of the conductive bar members of the various types of blades are located outside the housing, the arm-use blades of the various types of blades are able to move in the vertical direction over a specific range within the corresponding holding grooves, and the various types of blades are able to move within the holding space.
