Abstract
An electrical connector comprises an insulative housing, a plurality of terminals and a rigid height-adjustable member. The insulative housing defines a mating face, a back face, at least a lengthwise slot on the mating face, and a plurality of passageways extending through the housing from the mating face to the back face. Each of the terminals received in the respective passageways of the insulative housing comprises a contact portion extending into the slot, a retention portion secured in a corresponding passageway of the insulative housing, a mounting end, an S-shaped bellowed portion between said retention portion and the mounting end and configured to extend out of the back face of the insulative housing. The rigid height-adjustable member is supportably mounted onto the housing to lift up the housing to a predetermined height.
