Publication number: 20240088592Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing defining a slot in which a mating component can be at least partially inserted, a conductive terminal installed in the housing and having a contact end capable of electrically contacting the mating component, and a supporting member elastically supporting the contact end. The supporting member has a cantilever beam and a supporting arm extending from the cantilever beam. The cantilever beam at least partially abuts a first surface of the contact end facing an inner wall of the housing and applies an elastic force to the contact end. The supporting arm is positioned at least partially between the cantilever beam and the inner wall. The supporting arm elastically supports the cantilever beam and the contact end when pressed against the inner wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Tyco Electronics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.Inventors: Jiaoyong (Mac) Liu, Hongqiang (Sean) Han, Jie (Roger) Luo
