ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for a power supply and a conductive contact for such an electrical connector are disclosed. The electrical connector comprises a main body and a plurality of conductive contacts received in a plurality of grooves on the main body. Each of the grooves comprise a raised portion, a supporting surface adjacent to the raised portion, and a channel communicating the groove to an exterior of the main body. Each of the conductive contact comprises a retaining section, an inserting section, and a deflecting section. A number of retention pieces of the retaining section of the contact are insert in a number of slits provided on a retaining portion of the raised portion and a pivoting portion of the deflecting section abuts on a pivoting surface of the raised portion so that a supporting portion of the deflecting does not abut to the supporting surface of the groove until the conductive connector engages with a mating connector. Also, a pair of fixing posts may be formed integrally with the main body for fixing to an external printed circuit board.
