ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR FOR CONNECTING PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS.

摘要

An electrical connector (1) is disclosed with a contact housing (2) for receiving terminal mating sections (11) of a plurality of terminals (10) and a tail housing (3), separate from the contact housing, for receiving solder tail sections (12) of the terminals. A flexible connecting section (13) is formed between the terminal mating (11) and solder tail (12) sections of each terminal (10). A protective bar (18) extends from the terminal mating section (11) toward the tail housing (3). An arm (20) extends from the protective bar which is inserted into a mounting recess (30) formed in the tail housing (3) without contacting any surfaces of the mounting recess under normal conditions.
