ABSTRACT:
A board-to-board connector for mating with another connector has a housing and a plurality of terminals. The terminals and housing interact at a reference surface to accurately locate the terminals relative to the housing. The housing includes an elongated recess that extends parallel to a longitudinal axis of the housing and has a plurality of terminal receiving cavities spaced therealong. Each cavity includes a terminal retention wall with a reference surface on one side thereof and a terminal alignment opening extending from the cavity. Each terminals is disposed in a terminal receiving cavity. Each terminal includes a U-shaped retention portion, an L-shaped resilient contact portion extending from the U-shaped retention portion and has a contact projection thereon. A tail portion for interconnection to a circuit member is also provided. The U-shaped retention portion includes first and second spaced apart legs and a connecting portion therebetween with the U-shaped retention portion dimensioned to securely receive the terminal retention wall of the housing between the spaced apart legs. The first leg is positioned along and engages the reference surface in order to accurately position the terminal within the terminal receiving cavity, and a terminal alignment projection extends from the U-shaped retention portion and projects into the terminal alignment opening to further position and secure the terminal within the cavity.
