ABSTRACT:
A contact for an electric connector is configured as an elongated post. The contact consists of a body portion, a terminal portion for being soldered to a substrate, a PCB for example, a contact portion for engaging with a corresponding contact in a mating connector, a first fitting portion protruding from two lateral sides of the body portion, and a second fitting portion also protruding from the two lateral sides of the body portion. The second fitting portion is located nearer to the terminal portion than the first fitting portion and has a width larger than that of the first fitting portion. When the contact is inserted into a corresponding contact passage defined by a dielectric housing of the connector, the first and second fitting portions will sequentially have an interference fit with the housing.
