ABSTRACT:
A plug connector includes an insulative housing and a plurality of spring contacts retained therein. The insulative housing has a front face, a first mating face protruding from the front face, a plurality of passages extending rearwards from the first mating face for receiving a respective spring contact therein and a locking member secured in the insulative housing. The locking member has a second mating face abutting against the first mating face, a locking arm projecting forwards from the second mating face, and a pad positioned on the second mating face beside the locking arm. The shape of the gap between the plug connector and receptacle connector can be changed by adjusting the thickness of the pad. Properly, the gap is shaped to be a rectangle, so that the spring contact is provided with sufficient normal force to obtain a stable connection.
