<p>An electrical connector (10) includes an elongated dielectric housing (12) adapted for mounting to a surface (44a) of a printed circuit board (44). The housing has terminal-receiving passages (40) extending generally parallel to the circuit board between a front mating face (14) of the housing and a rear terminating face (16) thereof. The passages are arranged in pairs of upper and lower passages, with the passages in each pair being in a plane generally perpendicular to the circuit board. A plurality of terminals (30a, 30b) are mounted in pairs on the housing (12) with mating portions (48) in the passages (40) and terminating portions (54, 56) projecting from the rear face of the housing for termination to circuit traces on the printed circuit board. The terminals are blanked from sheet metal material with the terminals in each pair being coplanar. The terminating portions (54, 56) have generally inverted U-shaped configurations, with the U-shaped terminating portion (56) of a lower terminal (30b) in each pair thereof being nested within the U-shaped terminating portion (54) of an upper terminal (30a) in each pair thereof. <IMAGE></p> |
