Abstract

See full text

An electrical connector comprises a housing and a plurality of contacts. The housing has a card slot for insertion of an electronic card and openings in two sides of the card slot. The plurality of contacts each comprises a plurality of separate members. Each member is in the shape of a beam with a contact portion, and each contact is inserted into one opening. A plurality of contact portions of each contact is arranged along an inserting direction of the electronic card. The electrical connector is easy to assemble, since it only needs to insert the plurality of members included in the contact corresponding to each opening in the housing into the opening. Thus, the cost can be reduced. The plurality of members are held on the housing through the corresponding opening and these members can be reliably fixed to the housing without an additional fixing component. Thus, the electrical connector has a simple structure. In addition, manufacturing each contact into several separate members causes the structure of each member simple, thereby reducing the processing difficulty of the contact and further reducing the cost.
