Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, at least one conductive contact, a limiting element and a fastening element. The insulative housing defines an upper first receiving passage and a lower second receiving passage spaced from the first receiving passage along an up-to-down direction by a horizontal first partition wall, and a first restriction section and a second restriction section. The at least one conductive contact is received in the first and second receiving passages, and partially received in the first restriction section and the second restriction section. The limiting element is received in the second restriction section. The fastening element is received in the second receiving passage and located below the limiting element to cooperate with the limiting element to fasten the at least one conductive contact with the insulative housing. The fastening element defines at least one contact-restriction section in at least on sidewall thereof.
