Abstract

An electrical connector comprises an insulative housing extending in a horizontal direction and a plurality of conductive terminals retained in the insulative housing. The electrical connector is provided with a first receiving cavity and a second receiving cavity which are arranged in an up-and-down arrangement in a vertical direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction. Each conductive terminals comprises a first contact portion extending upwardly into the first receiving cavity and a second contact portion extending downwardly into the second receiving cavity. The conductive terminals are used to electrically connect a pair of first and second electrical components which are respectively inserted into the first and second receiving cavity via the first and second contact portions. The electrical connector is provided with the receiving cavity for inserting the second electrical component, thereby facilitating the assembly of the second electrical component and the electrical connector.
