Abstract
An electrical connector (100) includes an insulative housing (10) and a plurality of contacts received to the housing. The housing defines a mating face (10), a supporting face (A) facing to the mating face and a mating cavity (101) recessed from the mating face towards the supporting face and disposed therebetween. The plurality of contacts includes a central contact (4) and a first contact (2), and the central contact defines a contacting portion (42) exposed onto the supporting face and a soldering portion (43) extending out of the housing, the first contact includes at least two arc-shaped contacting arms (23) projecting into the mating cavity and disposed beside the contacting portion of the central contact. A mating connector (200) can be disconnected and dropped from the mating cavity rapidly under an abnormal force oblique and angled to a mating direction.
