ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector having a reduced DIP footprint for a power distribution system for a printed circuit board is provided. The electrical connector achieves a smaller footprint (with a correspondingly small area taken up on the printed circuit board) than is currently available for power distribution system connectors. The electrical connector has an electrically conductive body having an arcuate section with at least one contact terminal being integrally formed therewith and extending from a lower portion of a first side and a second side of the conductive body for attaching to the printed circuit board. The conductive body is retained in an electrically insulating housing by a latching element integrally formed therewith and extending outwardly therefrom on each side of the conductive body.
