Abstract
An electrical connector having positioning posts is disclosed. The electrical connector comprises a first and a second positioning posts formed on both longitudinal ends of a front surface of an insulating housing for inserting into a pair of holes of a printed circuit board. Each of the first and second positioning posts defines a respective longitudinal direction, and includes a pair of positioning members on both longitudinal ends, a stop bar between the pair of positioning members, and an open slot between each of the positioning members and the stop bar. The width of the positioning post defined by both sides of the stop bar is shorter than the length of the positioning post defined between respective longitudinal outer surfaces of the positioning members.
