Abstract

A connector is disclosed. The connector comprises a housing and at least one conductive terminal received in the housing. The housing has a flange mounted on a first surface of a circuit board and a body extending through the circuit board beyond an opposite second surface of the circuit board. The body has an insertion hole. The at least one conductive terminal has a pair of resilient contact arms contacting a wire inserted through the insertion hole, a pair of solder feet soldered to the circuit board and electrically connected to the pair of resilient contact arms, and a releasing mechanism adapted to move the pair of resilient contact arms away from each other to release the wire.
