Patent attributes
An electrical connector in a type of connectors that comes into contact with a counterpart connector in a gap between contacts of terminals is provided in which the adjustment of contact positions of the terminals is easy and therefore the manufacture of the electrical connector is easy and the manufacturing cost is low. The electrical connector includes a housing and paired terminal supports. Each of the paired terminal supports can support the terminals in cantilever fashion. Moreover, the paired terminal supports are mounted on the housing in a state of abutting each other in predetermined directions. The terminals supported by the terminals supports mounted on the housing can form a gap where a contacted object is inserted, between the contacts of the terminals in a direction along the abutment directions of the paired terminal supports.
