Abstract: An electric connector includes an insulated seat and multiple pairs of terminals fixably mounted therein. Each terminal has a V-shaped bent contact portion at an inner side thereof and an S-shaped bent portion at a lower end thereof, which is connected to a leg for insertion into a circuit board and projecting therefrom. The configuration of the contact portion and bent portion of the terminal provides a greater resilience and a greater force for holding an insertable card in the seat. The electric connector further has a couple of hooks disposed at opposite ends thereof. The hooks are pivotally connected to the seat by means of pins. Each hook is provided with a push portion at a lower end thereof and a retaining portion at an upper end thereof, such that when an insertable card is plugged into the seat, the hook may retain notches in the sides of the card to enhance the gripping effect.
