Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulating housing defining an inserting chamber and terminal grooves communicating with the inserting chamber, electrical terminals of which each has an elastic arm received in the terminal groove and a contact portion protruding towards the inserting chamber at a front end of the elastic arm, and a pressing member slidably sleeved round a front of the insulating housing. A plurality of pressing blocks is protruded at inner sides of the pressing member and projects in the terminal grooves to resist against the elastic arms. The contact portions are located in the terminal grooves when the pressing member is at an initial position. After a mating connector is mated with the electrical connector, push the pressing member rearward to make the pressing blocks press the elastic arms so as to make the contact portions project into the inserting chamber and contact with the mating connector.
