Patent ID: 8079880

Claim:
An electrical connector comprising: an insulative housing defining a mating face, a supporting face facing to the mating face and a mating cavity recessed from the mating face towards the supporting face and disposed therebetween; and a plurality of contacts retained in the housing, including a central contact and a first contact, the central contact defining a contacting portion exposed onto the supporting face and a soldering portion extending out of the housing, the contacting portion having a contacting face disposed in the mating cavity for head-to-head abutting against a counterpart contact of a mating connector that enables the mating connector to readily become obliquely to a mating direction, the first contact including at least two arc-shaped contacting arms projecting into the mating cavity and disposed beside the contacting portion of the central contact, each contacting arm being deformable along the mating direction and a radial direction perpendicular to the mating direction when mating with a counterpart contact, but a free end of the contacting arm restricted by stopping means of the insulative housing and limited excessively deformation so as to providing enough retaining force for the mating connector.
