1. A connector, comprising:
a housing having a cavity;
a terminal assembly accommodated in the cavity and including a first terminal, the first terminal has a first mating portion, a first connecting portion, and a first mating beam extending from the first mating portion to the first connecting portion, the terminal assembly includes an inserting block usable with the first terminal and having an inserting block frame, the inserting block frame has a first passage and a preloading portion, the first passage allows the first mating beam to pass therethrough, the preloading portion supports the first mating beam and applies a pre-pressing force to the first mating beam; and
a second terminal separated from the terminal assembly and accommodated in the cavity, the second terminal has a second mating portion, the first mating portion and the second mating portion are arranged opposite to each other so as to define a mating area between the first mating portion and the second mating portion, in which the first mating portion and the second mating portion are in contact and mated with an inserted male circuit board, the inserted male circuit board arranged in the mating area between the first mating portion and the second mating portion.
