ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (1) includes a dielectric housing (2) and a number of first and second contacts (3, 4) received in the housing. Each first contact includes an intermediate portion (30), an engaging portion (32) extending upwardly from a top end of the intermediate portion and a compliant portion (34) extending downwardly from a bottom end of the intermediate portion for connecting to a printed circuit board. The intermediate portion is coplanar with the compliant portion and is formed with a tab (300) substantially perpendicular to the compliant portion. The tab abuts against the housing for resisting an upward force exerted on the first contact.
