Abstract:
1. An electrical connector including: a connector housing having a slot for receiving a circuit board formed in a second connector; and a plurality of connector terminals inserted into said connector housing, said connector housing including terminal spaces into which said connector terminals are inserted, and partition walls partitioning adjacent terminal spaces from each other, and a circular slot adapted to receive a second connector housing of the second connector, said circular slot having a first portion including an opening having a width greater than a thickness of said second connector housing, and a second portion positioned at a back side of the first portion and having a width smaller than the first portion so that the second connector housing can be inserted into a top end of the circular slot, said connector terminals each including a sheath to be inserted into one of said terminal spaces, and a resilient contact making electrical contact with said circuit board, wherein said electrical connector includes at least one prevention means formed in the terminal space for preventing said terminal spaces and said circuit board from falling apart from each other, said at least one prevention means comprising a convex portion formed at one of at least one of opposite sidewalls of said sheath and said partition walls, and a concave portion into which said convex portion can be fitted, said concave portion being formed at the other of the at least one of the opposite sidewalls of said sheath and said partition walls.
