Electrical connector

Abstract

An electrical connector includes an insulating housing and plural terminals, the insulating housing has an upper face, a lower face and plural terminal grooves penetrating the upper face and the lower face. Each terminal includes an upper conducting member and a lower conducting member, the upper conducting member includes an upper fixing portion fixed in the corresponding terminal groove, an upper additional portion facing to the upper fixing portion, an upper connecting portion connecting the upper fixing portion and the upper additional portion, and an upper elastic arm extending upward from the upper additional portion above the upper face. The lower conducting portion includes a lower fixing portion fixed in the corresponding terminal groove, a lower additional portion facing to the fixing portion a lower connecting member connecting the lower fixing portion and the lower main portion, and a lower elastic arm extending downward from the lower additional portion and below the lower face. The upper connecting portion and the lower connecting portion contact with each other along an upper and lower direction. The terminals are stably fixed in the terminal grooves by the fixing portions, and the electrical connector are able to be easily inserted into the terminal groove as the upper conducting member and the lower conducting member abut against with each other instead of being welded together,.
