ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes electrically-conductive contacts (33) held on a base plate portion (31a) of a housing (31), and makes the contacts (33) tightly contacted with an electrical connecting element (81) in the form of a flat plate placed on the base plate portion (31a). The base plate portion (31a) has a first base surface (31b) on which the electrical connecting element (81) is placed, and a second base surface (31c) positioned adjacent to the first base surface (31b). The contacts (33) each have a support post portion (33a) held on the base plate portion (31a) and extending upward above the first base surface (31b), a first beam portion (33b) extending from the support post portion (33a) in opposed relation to the first base surface (31b), and a second beam portion (33c) extending from the support post portion (33a) in opposed relation to the second base surface (31c). An operating member (41) is interposed between the second beam portion (33c) and the second base surface (31c) to change the spacing between the second beam portion (33c) and the second base surface (31c), and simultaneously to change the spacing between a contact portion (33d) and the first base surface (31b) with a joint portion between the second beam portion (33c) and the support post portion (33c) serving as a fulcrum, so that the electrical connecting element (81) inserted between the first beam portion (33b) and the first base surface (31b) is tightly grasped therebetween and connected to the contact portion (33d).
