Patent ID: 8545275

Claim:
An electrical connector adapted for electrically connecting with a complementary connector, comprising: an insulative housing defining a mating direction, a mating face and a receiving cavity recessed from the mating face along said mating direction; a plurality of contacts received in the insulative housing adapted for electrically connecting with contacts of the complementary connector, each of the contacts comprising a contacting portion exposed into the receiving cavity adapted for electrically connecting with the respective contact of the complementary connector, a retaining portion extending from one end of the contacting portion to be interferentially received in the insulative housing, a forward end extending from the other end of the contacting portion to locate more closely to the mating face of the insulative housing than the contacting portion, and a connecting portion extending from the retaining portion to be exposed beyond the insulative housing; and a protecting insulator entirely covering the forward end of each one of the contacts; wherein the insulative housing forms a plurality of partition racks extending into the receiving cavity to separate the receiving cavity into a plurality of contact-receiving passageways, and wherein the contacts are respectively received in the contact-receiving passageways and spaced from one another by the partition racks.
