Abstract
An audio jack connector (100) includes an insulative housing (1), a first contact (21) and a second contact (22) retained in the insulative housing. The insulative housing defines a receiving channel (14). The first contact includes a first retaining portion (211), a first soldering portion (212) bent from the first retaining portion, and a first contacting portion (213) extending from the first retaining portion. The second contact includes a second contacting portion (221) extending into the receiving channel, an upper beam (222) and a lower beam (223) forkedly extending from the contacting portion, a hook portion (224) formed at the distal end of the upper beam and secured with the insulative housing, and a second soldering portion (225) bent from the lower beam. An interspace (226) is defined between the upper beam and the lower beam. The first contacting portion protrudes into the receiving channel via the interspace.
