<p>An electrical connector assembly (2) for use with a circuit board (6) comprises an electrical connector (4) and a lead positioning comb (48). The electrical connector includes a housing having a plurality of cavities (26) located in at least one row, terminals (26) positioned in the cavities, each terminal extending from a corresponding cavity and then extending at a right angle relative to the corresponding cavity and including a terminal lead (40) at a distal end of the terminal. The lead positioning comb (48) includes a plurality of side by side slots (52) formed by cantilever beams (54) which are located in a common plane and extend from a base (50) toward the housing. Each slot has an open end, facing the housing, through which the terminal leads enter as the comb is moved toward the housing for attachment to the housing. The assembly is characterized by adjacent cantilever beams being spaced apart by relief slots (55) which are sufficiently wide to permit the adjacent beams to flex outwardly in the common plane as side by side terminal leads are simultaneously inserted into the side by side slots.</p> |
