Abstract
A probe connector has an insulating housing having at least one inserting hole and an installing groove adjacent to the inserting hole for communicating with thereof. At least one probe pin assembly mounted to the inserting hole comprises a cylindraceous barrel, an elastic element received in the barrel, and a plunger mounted to the barrel and exposing from an end of the barrel. The barrel has a main body, with an opening formed thereon and facing the installing groove. A fixing element fixed in the installing groove has an elastic arm which is formed with a resting portion projecting into a chamber surrounded by the main body through the opening. The resting portion resiliently rests against a side of the plunger when the plunger is pressed downwards to deflect to contact an inner surface of the main body by an opposite side thereof.
