ABSTRACT:
A straddle electrical connector (1) attached to a circuit substrate (50) includes a housing (10), upper contacts (30) and lower contacts (40) accommodated in the housing, and a clamp (20) attached with the housing. Each upper contact includes an upper connecting portion (36) and an upper soldering portion (38). Each lower contact includes a lower connecting portion (46) and a lower soldering portion (48). The distance between the upper soldering portion and corresponding lower soldering portion is greater than the thickness of the circuit substrate. When the circuit substrate is inserted into the connector, the clamp presses the upper contacts and corresponding lower contacts face to face. This reduces the distance. Thereby the upper soldering portion and the lower soldering portion cooperatively engage with the circuit substrate.
