Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing (21) defining a longitudinal direction, a plurality of terminals (22) arranged along the longitudinal direction. Each of the terminals defines a retaining portion (221) with barbs interfering with the housing along a transverse direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, a contacting portion (223) and a connecting portion (222) connecting with the retaining portion and the contacting portion. The connecting portion is narrower than the other portions along the transverse direction.
