Abstract
An electrical connector (100) for mounting to a printed circuit board comprises an insulative housing (10) and a plurality of terminals (30) received in the housing. The housing comprises a pair of sidewalls (14) each defining a plurality of first passageways (128) and a tongue (12) located between the sidewalls. Each of the terminals comprises a positioning portion (34), a contact portion (32), and a tail (35). The positioning portion is received in the first passageway. The contact portion is attached to a surface of the tongue. The tail extends beyond the housing. The positioning portion interferentially engages with the first passageway in a longitudinal direction to restrict the terminal from moving along the longitudinal direction of the housing.
