Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electrical connector includes: an insulative base; a fixed terminal secured to the insulative base; and a movable terminal including a securing portion fixed to the insulative base, a connecting portion, a contacting portion in touch with the fixed terminal, a first and a second beams at two opposite sides of the connecting portion, and a tail, wherein at least one of the first and second beams has a first portion substantially perpendicular to the connecting portion and a second portion substantially parallel to the connecting portion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electrical connector comprising: an insulative base; a pair of fixed terminals secured to the insulative base; and a pair of movable terminals each including a securing portion fixed to the insulative base, a connecting portion, a contacting portion in touch with a corresponding fixed terminal, a first and a second beams at two opposite sides of the connecting portion, and a tail; wherein at least one of the first and second beams of each movable terminal has a first portion substantially perpendicular to the connecting portion and a second portion substantially parallel to the connecting portion; and two adjacent second portions of the first and second beams extend in opposite directions. 2. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1 , wherein respective free ends of the first and second beams are located at outer edges of the insulative base. 3. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an insulative cover secured to the insulative base and covering the fixed terminal and the movable terminal. 4. The electrical connector as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising an outer metallic shell enclosing the insulative cover and the insulative base.
