    Abstract: An electrical connector structure comprises a first electrical component including a first block accommodating at least one first electrical terminal, a second block accommodating at least one second electrical terminal, and a housing that receives the first and second blocks. The housing has an end wall including upper and lower walls including, respectively, first and second opening portions aligned with the first and second electrical terminals. The first and second blocks are movable within the housing between a retracted position in which contact pieces of the first and second electrical terminals are retracted and protected from damage within the housing and an extended position in which the contact pieces of the first and second terminals extend through the first and second opening portions of the housing for connection to an electrical component, e.g., an FPC and/or a bus bar, of a second electrical connector component.
