ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for a printed circuit board has an insulator base portion with a block at both of its ends. Electroconductive contacts supported by the base portion have a terminal to be connected to a pad on the circuit board. Each block has a guide projection to be inserted into a guide hole on the circuit board. A first elastic portion locks into a hole in the circuit board. The base portion has a second elastic portion for engagement with the circuit board. The top ends of the first and the second elastic engagement portions have the first and the second hook portions, respectively. The first and the second hook portions are elastically restored to engage the first and the second hook portions with the second surface of the circuit board. Alternatively, the electrical connector has a pair of second elastic engagement portions respectively extending to a level which is lower than the bottom of surface of the base portion.
