Abstract

See full text

An electrical connector includes a body and at least one terminal. The body has a top surface and a bottom surface opposite to each other, multiple receiving holes running through the body from the top surface to the bottom surface, and at least two protruding blocks protruding downward from the bottom surface and located around each of the receiving hole. A gap exists between the two protruding blocks. Each of the protruding blocks has a stopping surface toward the gap. The terminal is disposed in the receiving hole. The terminal has a fixing portion and two clamping arms extending downward from the fixing portion along a plate surface for clamping a tin ball. Bottom ends of the two clamping arms are located in the gap. The stopping surfaces are configured to stop the clamping arms and prevent the clamping arms from moving in a plate thickness direction.
