Abstract
An electrical connector (1) for connecting a battery (6) with a printed circuit board includes an insulative housing (10) defining a plurality of passageways (11), a pivot portion (30) mounted in an upper portion of the housing, a holding portion (20) mounted in a lower portion of the housing, first contacts (40) received in the passageways and rotatablely engaging with the pivot portion, and second contacts (50) each having a connecting portion (52) insert molded in the holding portion. The first contacts separate from the second contacts when the connector is not mated with the battery, and are rotated to engage with the second contacts when the battery is brought to mate with the connector by engaging with the first contacts.
