Abstract
The present invention provides an electrical connector inserted into a circuit board for insertion of at least two mating electrical connectors so that the mating electrical connectors and the circuit board are electrically interconnected. The electrical connector includes an insulating housing having two spaced-apart side walls, at least two upper and lower stacked plug seats formed integrally with the insulating housing, a plurality of terminals received respectively in a plurality of terminal receiving slots formed in the plug seats. Each of the side walls is formed with a retaining notch that extends between two plug seats opposite to the insert direction for detachable insertion of a circuit board therein. When each plug seat permits detachable insertion for a mating electrical connector, the mating electrical connector is correspondingly and electrically connected to the terminals to establish electrical connection with the circuit board.
