Electrical receptacle connector

Abstract

An electrical connector (1) comprises an insulated housing (2), a number of terminals (3) received in a number of passageways (21) of the insulated housing (2) and a separate spacer (4) which attaches to the housing. The spacer defines a number of through holes (45) each having a configuration of “T” consisted by a wide portion (451) and a narrow portion (453) and corresponding with the passageway. A recess (455) is defined on a bottom of the narrow portion which is far from the wide portion of each through hole and the recess does not run through the spacer. The terminals each are received in the passageway with a pair of shoulders extending from both sides of the connecting portion of the terminal. The shoulders are finally plunged in the recesses to make sure that the terminals will be received in the passageways of the housing without a sliding movement relative to the housing.
