Patent ID: 7841908

Claim:
An electrical connector comprising: an insulative housing including a mating cavity therein with a resisting block on one lateral face of said mating cavity; and a plurality of contacts dispose in the housing with contacting sections extending rearwardly from a front end region of the resisting block into the mating cavity in a cantilever manner; wherein said resisting block defines a concave surface behind a front end region below the contacting sections under a condition that the concave surface is fully open to the mating cavity when no plug is inserted into the mating cavity wherein said contacting section extends in a cantilevered manner, while being partially covered by the contacting sections when the plug is inserted into the mating cavity wherein a free end region of the contacting section is seated upon the resisting block at a first position right behind the concave surface and a root section of the contacting section is seated upon the resisting block at a second position right in front of the concave surface with the concave surface being spaced from the contacting section so as to have said contacting section extend in a simple supported manner rather than the cantilevered manner.
