Abstract
An electrical connector (100) includes an insulative housing (10), a movable contact (23) and a fixed contact (22). The insulative housing defines a receiving hole (12) for receiving a mating plug (4) therein. The movable contact comprises a base portion (230) received in the insulative housing. A flexible portion (231) and a connecting portion (232) both extend from the base portion. The fixed contact comprises a base portion (221) received in the insulative housing. Two separated contacting portions (222) and a soldering portion (223) both extend from the base portion. The contacting portions of the fixed contact disconnect the flexible portion of the movable contact only when the mating plug is completely inserted into the receiving hole of the insulative housing.
