AN ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR (12). INCLUDES A DIELECTRIC HOUSING (14) HAVING A CAVITY (38) FOR RECEIVING A PLURALITY OF TERMINAL MODULES (40). EACH OF THE PLURALITY OF TERMINAL MODULES INCLUDES A DIELECTRIC INSERT (42) RECEIVABLE IN THE CAVITY (38) TO DEFINE A SIDE-BY-SIDE ARRAY OF MODULES. EACH 1NSERT (42) IS OVERMOLDED ABOUT A PLURALITY OF TERMINALS (46) TO RIGIDLY FIX THE TERMINALS WITH MALE PORTIONS (24) OF THE TERMINALS PROJECTING FROM THE HOUSING..
