<p>A connector (2) comprises an insulative housing (4) having a plurality of cavities (6) extending therethrough for receiving stamped and formed terminals (8) therein. The terminals (8) have a U-shaped base section comprising a base wall (20) and side walls (22,24). One of the side walls comprises an upper polarizing extension (71) and the other side wall comprises a lower polarizing extension (72) disposed substantially diagonally from the upper extension. The diagonally opposed polarizing extensions (71,72) allow 0 or 180 DEG polarization of the terminals (8) for insertion into the cavity (6). Due to positioning of the polarizing extensions proximate corners of the cavity, they abut against sturdier and less flexible corner wall sections of the housing when incorrectly inserted, and due to the use of two opposed extensions (71,72) the extensions can be made more compact. The latter also allows close centerline to centerline configuration of the terminals due to the rhombic shape of the cavities that allow maintenance of a minimum and substantially constant wall thickness (90) between adjacent cavities. <IMAGE></p> |
