Abstract:
1. An electrical connector comprising a plurality of terminals arranged side-by-side in a horizontal direction, each of the terminals having a first connection portion adapted to be connected with one of two members electrically connectable to each other via the electrical connector, and a second connection portion adapted to be connected with the other of the two members, wherein: the plurality of terminals include an upper array of terminals arranged side-by-side in the horizontal direction, and a lower array of terminals arranged side-by-side in the horizontal direction and disposed on a lower side of the upper array in a vertical direction, each of the terminals of the upper and lower arrays having a first connection portion adapted to be connected with one of the two members electrically connectable to each other via the electrical connector, and a second connection portion adapted to be connected with the other member; two or more first terminals consisting of a part of the terminals of the upper array are arranged such that an inter-terminal pitch in the first connection portions thereof is equal to that in the second connection portions thereof; two or more second terminals consisting of the remaining terminals of the upper array other than the first terminals are arranged such that an inter-terminal pitch in the first connection portions thereof is less than that in the second connection portions thereof; and all the terminals of the lower array are arranged such that an inter-terminal pitch in the first connection portions thereof is less than that in the second connection portions thereof.
