ABSTRACT A miniature electrical socket connector comprises an insulating housing which is closed at one end and open at the other and which contains a female electrical terminal comprising a pair of bowed contact springs extending from an arcuate support portion of the terminal, towards the open end of the housing. A connecting tongue extends from the support portion and through a slot in a rim surrounding the open end of the housing and has a tab portion lying alongside the external wall of the housing and projecting beyond its closed end. The rim is notched so that when the terminal is mated with a male terminal, divergent free end portions of the contact springs can be received in the notches. The terminal is intended to be inserted in a hole in a printed circuit panel with the rim engaging one surface of the panel and the tab portion of the connecting tongue projecting from the opposite surface of the panel, for soldering to a printed conductor on that surface. The closed end of the housing prevents solder from wicking up so as to impair the spring characteristics of the contact springs during the soldering operation. Free ends of the arcuate support portion of the terminal engage longitudinal ribs in the housing to orient the terminal with respect to the housing.
