Abstract
An electrical connector comprises an insulative housing (1) defining an receiving cavity (10); a plurality of conductive terminals (2) disposed in the housing and each terminal having a contact beam (21) with a contact portion exposed to the receiving cavity; a pressing member (3) having a pair of latching arms (31) and associated with the housing by the latching arms, the pressing member movable between an opened position and a closed position; and a pair of latching members (4) assembled on the housing and each latching member comprising a resilient arm (40) having a latching portion (401). When the pressing member arrives at the closed position, the latching arms urge corresponding resilient arms to move toward the receiving cavity so as to achieve an engagement between the latching portions and the sheet-like connection member.
