Abstract

An electric connector has an insulative housing, a plurality of probe contacts and a plurality of terminals. The insulative housing has a plurality of mounting holes and a plurality of mounting slots. The mounting slots communicate respectively with and are perpendicularly to the mounting slots. The probe contacts are mounted respectively in the mounting holes. The terminals are mounted respectively in the mounting slots and respectively hold the probe contacts and each terminal has a fastening portion. The fastening portion is perpendicularly to and securely holds one probe contact. The terminal with the fastening portion is mounted perpendicularly on the probe contact instead of sliding longitudinally along the tubular body. Therefore, the terminal would not wear the probe contact.
