Abstract
An electrical connector (100) includes an insulative housing and a conductive contact assembled to the housing. The housing including a board (10) and opposite side walls (13) projecting upwardly and downwardly beyond the board. The board includes a top surface (11) and a bottom surface (12). The contact includes a base portion (20), a first spring arm (21) for engaging with an antenna (3) and a second spring arm (22) for resiliently pressing a printed circuit board (4). The second spring arm includes a retention portion (221) and a resilient portion (222) extending from the distal end of the retention portion. A bent is formed at a location between the retention portion and the resilient portion, whereby providing the resilient portion with enough flexibility.
