  • Patent number: 11271334
    Abstract: An electrical contact for extending through a hole in the printed circuit board in an insertion direction, includes a retention plate and a leg extending therefrom. The leg includes an insertion section and a deformation section. The deformation section includes a pair of opposite wide side faces in a first direction perpendicular to the insertion direction, and a pair of opposite narrow side faces in a second direction perpendicular to both the insertion direction and the first direction, and a cavity recessed from one wide side face in the first direction. The cavity forms a first end located closer to the insertion end of the leg in the insertion direction and equipped with a cone shape thereof, and a second end located opposite to the first end and closer to a rectangular retention section and equipped with an arc shape thereof. The cavity forms a trapezoidal cross-section.

  • Patent number: 9853393
    Abstract: An electrical connector comprises: an insulative housing and a plurality of terminals retained in the insulative housing. The insulative housing has a base portion and a mating tongue. The mating tongue comprises a stepped portion extending from the base portion and a tongue portion extending from the stepped portion. The insulative housing defines an outer periphery. The stepped portion defines a front face. The base portion defines a rear face. The terminal defines a connecting portion buried in the base portion and the stepped portion, a contacting portion extending from the connecting portion. The insulative housing defines a sealing member filling in the periphery of the connecting portion. The sealing member not extends out the front face of the stepped portion, the rear face of the base portion and the out periphery of the insulative housing. It is favorable for improving the waterproof effect of the electric connector.
