Patent attributes
An electrical connector (10) includes a housing (20) defining an upper surface (22) and a bottom surface (23), and a plurality of terminals (30) received in the housing. The housing defines a plurality of passageways (21) for accommodating the terminals therein. Each terminal comprises a contacting portion (31), a medial portion (32) fastened in the passageway, and a soldering portion (33) extending below the bottom surface. The medial portion defines a pair of wings (320) extending toward the soldering portion. A distance is configured between distal ends of the wings and the bottom surface of the housing. A method for manufacturing said electrical connector comprises such steps as: locating the soldering portions in corresponding recesses of a tool, pushing the tool toward the housing along a direction from the bottom surface to the upper surface, till a predetermined distance is configured between distal ends and the bottom surface.
