Abstract

An electrical connector for connecting a sheet-like connection member (6) with a plurality of conductive pads (60) thereon comprises an insulative housing (1) defining a receiving cavity (10), and a plurality of conductive terminals (2) arranged in the insulative housing. Each terminal is made by stamping a piece of metal plate and comprises a base section (20), a first resilient arm (21) extending aslant from the base section, an extending section extending forwards from the base section and a second resilient arm (23) extending aslant from said extending section. The first and the second resilient arms (21,23) of each terminal respectively has a contact portion (211,231) to electrically and mechanically contact with a corresponding same conductive pad (60) of said sheet-like connection member (6).
