In a connector having a housing and a plurality of terminals, the plurality of terminals is configured as surface mount terminals, and each surface mount terminal includes a terminal portion arranged inside the housing, a fixed portion fixed to the housing, and a mount portion soldered to a mount surface of a board. The surface mount terminals are arranged side by side from one side to the other side in a Y-direction when the connector mounted on the mount surface is viewed in an X-direction, and a surface mount terminal having the smallest length dimension from the mount portion to the fixed portion is arranged at the leftmost end in the Y-direction, and the length dimension from the mount portion to the fixed portion is larger or the same dimension according to the arrangement order from the left side to the right side in the Y-direction.

An electrical connector includes an insulative housing and a plurality of power contact pairs, the insulative housing has a mounting section for installing on a printed circuit board, a mating section and a plurality of contact-receiving passageways extending along a front-and-back direction. The power contact pairs are retained in corresponding contact-receiving passageways and divided into two rows along a height direction, each power contact pair in each row has two flaky power contacts, each power contact has a retaining portion held in the relative contact-receiving passageway, at least one contacting portion extending forwards from the retaining portion and at least one soldering portion bending from a rear end of the retaining portion. One row of power contact pairs is assembled into the insulative housing along a back-to-front direction, and the other row of power contact pairs is assembled into the insulative housing in an up-and-down direction.

A miniaturized card edge connector providing reliable operation. A connector may have a reinforcing member comprising a main body, a first connector engaging portion and a second connector engaging portion. The first connector engaging portion and the second connector engaging portion extend from the main body in a first vertical direction and are spaced apart in a transverse direction. The first connector engaging portion and the second connector engaging portion are configured to be engaged to both sides of a card slot of the electrical connector. The reinforcing member may effectively protect the insulating body of the electrical connector against deformation or even damage. The reinforcing member can strengthen the connection between the electrical connector and the circuit board to ensure their stable connection. Since the reinforcing member itself is multifunctional and is convenient for mounting, the assembly period may be shortened and the product cost may be lowered.

A wire-end connector and a connector assembly are provided. The connector assembly includes the wire-end connector and a board-end connector. The wire-end connector includes a housing, multiple conductive wires, and multiple conductive terminals. The housing includes an insulating body with multiple apertures disposed therein, an elastic latch arm, and a flange. The flange is arranged along an outer side of a first opening, and two limiting arms are respectively formed at two end portions of the flange that are adjacent to the elastic latch arm. A midline is defined by each of first partition walls along a third direction, the two adjacent midlines are spaced apart from each other by an interval, and each of the intervals is at least twice a width of each of the first partition walls.
