1. An electrical connector, comprising:
a plurality of sheet terminals each including:
a main body;
a pair of first main cantilevers extending from a first side of the main body and having a pair of contact portions protruding toward each other inside a pair of free ends of the pair of first main cantilevers;
a pair of auxiliary cantilevers inside the pair of first main cantilevers;
a pair of second main cantilevers extending from a second side of the main body opposite the first side; and
a pair of protective frames each mounted outside a pair of outermost sheet terminals of the plurality of sheet terminals, the plurality of sheet terminals are assembled together in a stacked manner and a receiving chamber with an insertion opening is formed between at least one of the pair of first or second main cantilevers of the plurality of sheet terminals.
