Printed circuit board mounted electrical connector

摘要

An electrical connector (10) is mountable to a substrate such as a printed circuit board. The connector includes a molded dielectric housing (12) having terminals (30) mounted through an elongated body portion (14) of the housing. The terminals have tails (34) projecting rearwardly of the body portion. A plurality of discrete mating portions (18) are spaced along the body portion and project forwardly of a front face (14a) thereof. A recessed area (40,42) is formed in the front face of the body portion between adjacent forwardly projecting mating portions. A boss (50,52) projects rearwardly of the body portion (14) between the tails of the terminals for adjacent mating portions. The recessed area and the boss form flow interrupters for molten material of which the housing is molded.
