Abstract

An electrical connector includes a body having multiple accommodating holes running vertically therethrough, and multiple conductive terminals vertically movably accommodated in the accommodating holes. Each accommodating hole has upper and lower position limiting surfaces. Each conductive terminal includes a flat plate portion having an upper position limiting portion located above the upper position limiting surface, and a lower position limiting portion located below the lower position limiting surface, so as to limit a vertical movement of the conductive terminal. Upper and lower elastic arms are formed at a rear side the flat plate portion. Each of the upper and lower elastic arms has a corresponding contact portion to correspondingly abut a first electronic component and a second electronic component. A through slot extends from the upper elastic arm through the flat plate portion to the lower elastic arm.
