Abstract:
1. An electrical assembly comprising: a plate having a plurality of conductive pads on an undersurface thereof a rectangular insulative housing located under said plate; a plurality of defiectively resilient terminals retainably disposed in the housing, each of said terminals defining an upper contact portion exposed above an upper face of the housing and downwardly deflectably engaged with the corresponding conductive pad when the plate and the housing are coupled to each other, some of said terminals having first portions, exclusive of second portions, defining corresponding upper contact portions while the remaining of said terminals having said second portions, exclusive of said first portions, defining corresponding upper contact portions, wherein downward deflection of the contact portion results in a horizontal resistant force component relative to the plate according to an extension direction of said contact portion from a top view of the housing, and the contact portions of said first portions of the terminals direct to a first extension direction while those of said second portions of to terminals direct to a second direction opposite to said first direction so as to counterbalance total horizontal resistant force components derived from said first portions and said second portions of the terminals, thus assuring said plate will not tend to move horizontally due to any horizontal resistant force components derived from the first portions and the second portions of the terminals; wherein the first portions and the second portions are located by two sides of an imaginary center line which is perpendicular to said first and second direction wherein said center line is essentially diagonal with regard to the housing.
