ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a first housing part and a second housing part, with the housing parts being movable relative to each other. At least one terminal is mounted between the two housing parts. The terminal includes a termination end secured in the first housing part, and a contact arm secured in the second housing part. A first flexible section is disposed between the ends of the terminal to allow for relative movement of the housing parts in a first given direction. A second flexible section is disposed between the first flexible section and the contact arm to allow for relative movement of the housing parts in a second given direction generally transverse to the first given direction. The second flexible section is juxtaposed generally parallel to the contact arm.
