Abstract
The electrical connector includes an insulative housing (1) having a plurality of retention channels (13) extending to an exterior both in horizontal and vertical directions. Each contact (2) is laterally inserted into a corresponding channel (13) and has a free front header (214) with a horizontal retention piece (2141) and at least a side guiding section (2142). The side guiding section (2142) is configured to guide the free front header (214) into an interior of the channel (13) at a first initial insertion position, while the horizontal retention piece (2141) is pressed by a horizontal wall (146) of the channel (13) at a second full insertion position to hold the contact (2) in position. This configuration of the free front header (214) has the function of guiding the contact (2) into the channel (13) with no need of an installation tool.
