ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a housing and a plurality of terminals secured within the housing for mounting a mating connector or an electronic module or the like having a plurality of electronic leads disposed thereon to a printed substrate. Each of the terminals has a connecting base portion that is mechanically connected to the printed substrate and a non-connecting base portion that is not mechanically connected to the printed substrate, but rather freely contacts the printed substrate. A first contact beam is cantilevered from the connecting base portion and has a distal end, while a second contact beam is similarly cantilevered from the non-connecting base portion and also has a distal end wherein a gap is formed between the distal ends of the contact beams. The leads of the mating connectors or the like are inserted into the gap for contacting engagement with the contact beams. The width of the contact beam cantilevered from the connecting base portion is preferably greater than the width of the contact beam cantilevered from the non-connecting base portion. A gap adjustment provides for simple adjustment of the size of the gap between the contact beams.
