Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulting housing, a mating face, a rear face opposite to the mating face, a first receiving groove defined into the mating face and a second receiving groove defined into the rear face, and the two receiving grooves extend towards each other. The first contact includes a contacting contact retained in the first receiving groove and a soldering contact separated from the contacting contact and retained in the second receiving groove, and the contacting contact defines a mating portion exposed to the mating face, and the soldering contact defines a soldering portion exposed out of the housing for mounting onto a printed circuit board and a resilient arm extending into the second receiving groove and soldered to the contacting contact. The separated mating contact and soldering contact are soldered together to provide a secure connection therebetween and a good electronic capability for the electrical connector.
