Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing (1), a first set of contacts (3) connecting to a first powering device and a second set of contacts (5) connecting to a second powering device. The first set of contacts has a first contact (31) and a second contact (32). The second set of contacts has a third contact (51), a fourth contact (53), a fifth contact (54) and a connecting element (52). The third and the fifth contacts respectively have a first and a second bias terminals (516, 543). A first electrical circuit is formed by the second and the third contacts and the connecting element. A second electrical circuit is formed by the first, the fourth and the fifth contacts. The first and the second electrical circuits are respectively connected to circuit traces of a PCB through the first and the second bias terminals.
