Abstract:
1. An electrical connector comprising: an insulative housing comprising a first and a second primary faces, and at least a passageway extending between the first and second primary faces, said passageway defining a first opening at the first primary face and a second opening at the second primary face; and a contact terminal inserted into the passageway through the first opening, said contact terminal being formed with a contact section having a blocking portion projecting along a transversal direction of the first opening, said blocking portion being configured to cooperate with the first primary face to prevent the contact section from entering into the first opening, wherein said contact section of the contact terminal comprises a pair of said blocking portions, a distance between the pair of blocking portions being greater than a width of the first opening, wherein said contact terminal has a pair of plate portions adhered as a whole, and said pair of blocking portions are symmetrically formed on the pair of plate portion, wherein said contact terminal has a substantially U-shaped configuration and is flexible along a longitudinal direction perpendicular to said transversal direction, wherein said passageway has an obliquely extending first and second side faces and a vertically extending blocking face connecting with the second side face, a horizontal distance between the blocking face and the first side face being smaller than a horizontal distance between the first and the second side faces, wherein said first and second openings are offset with respect to a direction vertical to the first and second primary faces, wherein said contact terminal comprises a body portion leaning along the first side face, and a resilient beam having a resisting portion slidable along the second side face.
