TERMINAL ASSEMBLY FOR SMALL FORM FACTOR CONNECTOR

摘要

A terminal assembly is provided for use with a small size connector. The terminal assembly includes a plurality of terminals, arranged in pairs on a lead frame and a dielectric frame is molded over the terminal set. The terminals have an L-shape so that their contact portions extend out along one side of the frame and their tail portions extend along another adjacent side of the frame. Clip members are disposed on the frame one side between the sets of terminal contact portions and the clip members engage an opposing shoulder of a connector housing to assist in maintaining the terminal assemblies in place within the connector housing.
