ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an electrical contact which can be used in a board-mounted electrical connector and is capable of effecting resilient engagement with circuit pads on a circuit board. Electrical connector 10 has a plurality of electrical contacts 50 inside a housing 20. Each of the electrical contacts 50 has a first plate member 62 and a second plate member 63 which are formed by folding at one end on an engaging side. The first plate member 62 has a press-fitting section 53 and a resilient contact section 52 extending at an inclined angle. The second plate member 63 includes a pressing shoulder 66 used during press-fitting into a cavity of the housing. When the housing 20 is mounted on a circuit board, the contact sections 52 of the electrical contacts 50 flex resiliently at the bottom side of the housing 20, and termination sections 54 resiliently engage circuit pads on the circuit board.
