ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector 10 has electrical contacts 30a, 30b arranged in cavities 40a, 40b of a housing 50. Electrical contacts 30a, 30b include contact sections 31 and termination sections 32a, 32b having plate sections 36 oriented perpendicular to a surface of the contact sections 31 and soldering termination members 37. When electrical contacts 30a, 30b are placed in the housing 50, a rear portion 34 of the contact section 31 can be bent due to the fact that cut-outs 47a, 47b corresponding to the rear portion 34 are provided in the inside walls of cavities 40a, 40b, thus allowing for elastic deformation of the rear portion 34. In addition, plate sections 36 have lugs 38 accommodated in grooves 55 formed in the housing 50. Because of resilience of the rear sections 34, the lugs 38 engage against bottom surfaces 56 of the grooves 55, thus determining the position of the soldering termination members 37.
