ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector consists of a plug connector and a receptacle connector to be fitted. An insulator is supported only by plug contacts each having an elastic portion between second and third fixed portions so as to be floating in a housing. The elastic portion is so positioned that its upper curved portion is at the same height as a second contact portion and its lower curved portion is at the same height as the lower end of the insulator. The distal end of a first contact portion of a receptacle contact is folded back toward a first connection portion to provide a third contact to contact the elastic portion so that the first contact portion and the third contact portion of the receptacle contact and the second contact portion and the elastic portion of the plug contact are caused to contact each other in line contacts at two locations. The electrical connector thus constructed is superior in resistance to vibration, and achieves space-saving and a reduced overall height less than 5 mm and further the floating of the insulator.
