  • Publication number: 20250062549
    Abstract: A connector comprises a first fastener and a housing. The first fastener is arranged on the housing and is adapted to secure a wire between the housing and the first fastener. The housing includes at least one side wall, and a finger extending from one end of the at least one side wall. The at least one side wall includes a shoulder adapted to withstand external force applied to crimp the finger into a circuit board. A height from the shoulder to the one end of the at least one side wall is sufficient to prevent deformation of the housing during crimping of the finger to the circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20240088592
    Abstract: 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.
