Abstract
An electrical connector includes a terminal-mounting seat configured with receiving spaces. Each of conductive members has a connecting base connected to a contact block that is disposed in the respective receiving space. Each of conductive terminals has a lower clamping end portion abutting against and contacting electrically and movably the contact block of the respective conductive member, and an upper contact end portion extending outwardly of the terminal-mounting seat via a respective one of guiding grooves in a top surface of the terminal-mounting seat. Upon depression by an electronic device, the resilient conductive terminals deform to provide a restoring force to bias the upper contact end portion thereof upwardly to contact electrically a respective one of electrical contacts of the electronic device.
