Electrical connector with a terminal pin alignment plate

摘要

An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a plurality of conductive terminals mounted thereon with pin portions projecting therefrom. A pin alignment plate has a plurality of apertures for receiving the pin portions of the terminals. The pin alignment plate is movably mounted on the housing for movement from a protecting position generally at distal ends of the pin portions to a pin-exposing position spaced inwardly of the distal ends. The pin alignment plate has latches for mounting a printed circuit thereon for movement therewith between said positions.
