A connector (30) that projects from a metal housing (12), is formed by molding plastic in place, and is braced to increase its strength against breakoff. A cavity (32) is formed in the housing with an undercut that forms an inwardly-facing cavity shoulder (54). A metal brace (70) projects from inside the cavity to outside the cavity, and plastic is molded to lie inside and outside the cavity and to be strengthened by the metal brace. The brace is in the form of a sleeve with a flange (74) that abuts the inwardly-facing undercut cavity shoulder (54), so forces applied to the molded connector are transmitted through the metal brace directly to the walls of the metal housing.
