Patent attributes
A board-to-board connector has a first insulative housing and a plurality of first terminals received in the first insulative housing. The first insulative housing defines a plurality of first passageways arrayed in two rows opposing to each other. Positioning portions are formed on the first insulative housing and respectively protrude into the first passageways. Each first terminal includes a base, a first soldering portion extending outwardly from a bottom of a side of the base, and a bifurcate upper contact portion extending upwardly from the base. The upper contact portion has two contact sections, a concave portion being defined between the two contact sections for corresponding to the positioning portion. When the first terminals are inserted into the first insulative housing, the concave portions of the first terminals lock with the positioning portions in the first passageways for assuring reliable engagement of the first terminals to the first insulative housing.
