Abstract
An electrical connector (1) includes a housing (10) defining a number of channels (105) and a number of terminals (20) received in the channels. Each channel has an inner face (106) and a pair of step portions (107) oppositely protruding from the inner face. Each terminal includes a body portion (21) having two opposed side edges (213), a pair of spaced-apart legs (22) extending from an end of the body portion, and a tail portion (23) extending from an opposite end of the body portion. Each side edge has a shoulder (212) and a recessed portion (214) under the shoulder. The step portion is depressed and collapsed by the shoulder when the terminal is inserted into the terminal receiving channel and part of the step portion is pressed into the recessed portions of the terminal, thereby securing the terminal in the housing.
