Abstract: An electrical connector includes a fixed housing, a movable housing, and socket terminals. Each of the socket terminals includes a movable portion, a base, a front contact-point portion, and a rear contact-point portion. The movable portion includes a first extension, a hairpin portion, and a second extension, and elastically supports the movable housing so as to be displaceable relative to the fixed housing. The base is fixed to the movable housing and continuous with the second extension. The front contact-point portion and the rear contact-point portion extend from the base in an insertion/extraction direction and contact the plug terminal. A cutout portion, which faces the second extension and the hairpin portion, is formed is a side surface of the base adjacent to the movable portion, and at least part of the movable portion is disposed in a recess formed by the cutout portion.

Abstract: A socket terminal includes a movable portion that includes a first extension that extends from a position near a fixed housing in an insertion/extraction direction of a plug connector, a hairpin portion that is continuous with the first extension, and a second extension that is continuous with the hairpin portion and that extends in the insertion/extraction direction toward a movable housing. The movable portion elastically supports the movable housing in such a way that the movable housing is displaceable relative to the fixed housing. The second extension of the movable portion includes a spring portion that is bent in such a way that the width of a gap between the second extension and a base at one end portion of the second extension continuous with the hairpin portion is larger than that at the other end portion of the second extension continuous with the base.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a socket housing and socket terminals. Each socket terminal includes a front terminal and a rear terminal. The front terminal contacts a plug connector inserted into the socket housing. The front terminal includes front contact-point portion that contacts the plug connector and an elastic piece that supports the front contact-point portion so as to be elastically displaceable. The rear terminal includes a rear contact-point portion and an elastic piece that supports the rear contact-point portion so as to be elastically displaceable. The rear contact-point portion contacts the plug connector after the front contact-point portion has contacted the plug connector. The front contact-point portion and the elastic piece, and the rear contact-point portion and the elastic piece are each formed so as to maintain a plate surface of a flat metal plate.
