Abstract
An electrical connector includes a base (4) defining a surface (42) and a number of passageways (41), and a number of contacts (1). Each contact comprises an engaging portion (11) for engaging in the passageway, a medial portion (13) extending upwardly from an end of the engaging portion, a solder portion (12) extending perpendicularly from an opposite end of the engaging portion, an inclined portion (14) extending aslant from the medial portion, and a cantilever (15) extending from the inclined portion. The inclined portion and the medial portion form therebetween a connecting portion having a first line. The first line forms an angle relative to the surface of the base. The inclined portion and the cantilever form a connecting portion therebetween having a second line, the second line forming an angle relative to the surface of the base. A contact portion (17) is defined on an upper end of the cantilever.
