ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (100) in accordance with the present invention is adapted for connecting with an electronic element and capable of mating with at least one of the first and second complementary connectors. The electrical connector includes a housing (2), a number of first terminals (41) and at least one second terminal (42). The housing includes an upper wall (21), a lower wall (22) opposite to the upper wall, and a pair of sidewalls (23) connecting with the upper and lower walls. The housing defines a receiving space (20) circumscribed by the upper wall, the lower wall and the sidewalls. The first terminals are assembled to the upper wall of the housing, and at least one second terminal is assembled to the housing. Each terminal includes a mating portion (40), an intermediate portion (43) engaging with the housing to retain the first and second terminals in the housing and a tail portion (44) adapted for electrically connecting with the electronic element. The mating portions of the first terminals are exposed beyond inner surface of the upper wall and exposed into the receiving space of the housing adapted for mating with the first complementary connector, and the mating portion of the at least one second terminal is exposed beyond the outer surface of the housing adapted for mating with the second complementary connector together with the first terminals.
