Abstract
An electrical connector (1) includes an insulative housing (2), a number of terminals (3, 4), a rear spacer (5) and a board lock (6) assembled to the insulative housing for securing the electrical connector to a PCB. The insulative housing defines a number of passageways (200) therethrough and a number of apertures (250) communicating with corresponding passageways. The terminals each include a mounting portion (30, 40) received in a corresponding passageway and a contacting portion (31, 41) received in a corresponding aperture. The rear spacer is assembled to the insulative housing and defining a number of positioning grooves (500) for positioning corresponding upper terminals.

A stacked electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing comprising a crossbeam and an upper and a lower tongue plates extending forwardly from the crossbeam, the crossbeam defining a plurality of passageways and the upper and lower tongue plates each defining a plurality of apertures in communication with corresponding passageways;
- a plurality of upper and lower terminals each comprising a mounting portion received in a corresponding passageway and a contacting portion received in a corresponding aperture;
- and
- a spacer being assembled to the insulative housing for positioning corresponding upper terminals.
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing;
- a plurality of terminals being assembled to the insulative housing;
- a retention member being assembled to the insulative housing;
- and
- a spacer being assembled to the insulative housing over the terminals and defining a plurality of positioning grooves on a surface for positioning corresponding terminals.
A stacked connector assembly comprising:
- an insulative housing defining upper and lower mating ports thereof;
- a plurality of terminals respectively disposed in said upper and lower mating ports;
- a spacer for aligning tails of the terminals of the upper mating port, being forwardly assembled to the housing from a rear face of the housing;
