Abstract
An electrical connector includes terminal pieces mounted respectively in mounting holes in a substrate. Each terminal piece has an intermediate portion having a first part connected to a connecting end portion exposed from the respective mounting hole, and a second part connected to a contact end portion opposite to the connecting end portion. A protecting block is disposed adjacent to the substrate, is formed with through holes for permitting extension of the terminal pieces therethrough, respectively, and is operable so as to move from a first position, where the contact end portion of each terminal piece is received in the respective through hole, to a second position, where the contact end portion and the second part of the intermediate portion of each terminal piece are disposed outwardly of the respective through hole and are exposed from the protecting block. A biasing unit biases the protecting block to the first position.
