Abstract
An electrical connector (100) includes a dielectric housing, a contact terminal (3), a compression spring (4) and a retaining terminal (5). The contact terminal has a body portion (30) and a contact portion (310) extending from an upper end of the body portion. A first wing (301) and a second wing (302) perpendicularly bend from opposite edges of the body portion. The retaining terminal includes a solder portion (510) projecting beyond the housing for electrically connecting a printed circuit board and a pair of arms (53) extending from the solder portion for directly and electrically connecting with the first wing and the second wing of the contact terminal. The spring is compressed between the retaining contact and the contact terminal. An upper end of the spring engages with the contact terminal and a lower end of the spring engages with the retaining terminal.
