For the technical idea of the present invention, please refer to fig. 1 to 16 together.
As shown in the figures, the electrical connector 1 provided by the present invention is mainly disposed on a circuit substrate 3, such as a flexible board or a hard board, and is mated with a mating object 2 of the electrical connector. Specifically, the electrical connector 1 of the present invention mainly includes: the device comprises a fixed insulating base 11, a suspension insulating socket 12, at least one first conductive terminal 13, at least one second conductive terminal 14, a first holding force terminal 15 and a second holding force terminal 16.
As shown in fig. 9 and 13, the fixed insulating base 11 has a plurality of base side walls 111, opposite first and second fixed sides 112 and 113, and opposite third and fourth fixed sides 114 and 115, and the plurality of base side walls 111 may be selectively arranged on the first, second, third and fourth fixed sides 112, 113, 114 and 115, respectively, to form a base inner space 116, and the base inner space 116 is formed with a base insertion opening 1161 in the insertion direction of the docking object 2.
As shown in fig. 15, the floating insulating socket 12 is accommodated in the base inner space 116 and separates the base side walls 111, so that the floating insulating socket 12 can move in the base inner space 116 relative to the base side walls 111 and is exposed by the base plug 1161 to be docked with the docking object 2. The travel distance of the floating insulator receptacle 12 in the base inner space 116 is determined by the distance between the floating insulator receptacle 12 and each base side wall 111.
