Abstract
An electrical connector comprises an elongated insulative housing and a plurality of terminals. The elongated insulative housing defines a mating face, a rear end face opposite to the mating face and a plurality of receiving passageways extending through the mating face and the rear end face, and said insulative housing defines a plurality of retention means and a support means extending horizontally away from the rear end face respectively. The plurality of terminals are assembled to the receiving passageways, and each terminal comprises a tail portion extending away from the rear end face. The support means is below the tail portions of the terminals.
Claims11
An electrical connector, comprising:
- an elongated insulative housing defining a mating face, a rear end face opposite to the mating face and a plurality of receiving passageways extending through the mating face and the rear end face, said insulative housing defining a plurality of retention portion and a support means extending horizontally away from the rear end face respectively;
- a plurality of terminals assembled to the receiving passageways, each terminal comprising a tail portion extending away from the rear end face;
- and wherein
- the support means is below the tail portions of the terminals.
An electrical connector comprising:
- an insulative housing defining a front face on which a plurality of mating ports are exposed, and a rear face opposite to the front face in a front-to-back direction;
- a plurality of contacts each having a mating portion exposed on the mating port and a mounting portion extend out of the rear face;
- a plurality of retention portions formed on the rear face for sandwiching a printed circuit board therebetween;
- and
- a plurality of supporting devices form on the rear face and being offset from the mounting portions of the contacts in both longitudinal direction and transverse direction which are perpendicular to not only each other but also said front-to-back direction;
- wherein
- a mounting portions of the contacts and said supporting devices commonly define a gap in the transverse direction for receiving therebetween a printed circuit board which is also adapted to be retained by said retention portions.
