Abstract
An electrical connector includes: an insulating body having a plurality of receiving holes disposed thereon, each receiving hole including a protrusion, and the protrusion includes a guiding surface and an abutting surface; a plurality of solder balls; and a plurality of terminals correspondingly received in the plurality of receiving holes. Each terminal includes a base correspondingly received in one of the receiving holes, an extending arm extending downwards from the base, a soldering portion extending from the extending arm, and an elastic arm extending upwards from the base. The soldering portion includes two clamping portions extending laterally to respectively clamp a periphery of the solder ball. At least a part of the soldering portion is positioned below the abutting surface of the protrusion of the receiving hole such that the part of the soldering portion abuts the abutting surface of the protrusion of the receiving hole.
