Abstract
An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a lower base body that cooperates with an upper mounting body to confine a heat-dissipating space therebetween, and at least one opening in fluid communication with the heat-dissipating space. Conductive terminals extend through first through holes in the upper mounting body and second through holes in the lower base body, and have first contact portions that extend upwardly and outwardly of the upper mounting body to contact an electronic element mounted on the upper mounting body, and second contact portions that extend downwardly and outwardly of the lower base body. An anchoring unit is operable so as to anchor the electronic element to the upper mounting body.
