Abstract
An electrical connector (1) includes a dielectric housing (10), a number of terminals (20) received in the dielectric housing (20) and a spacer (30). The dielectric housing includes a pair of side walls (13) and a cavity (17) extending from a mounting surface (12 thereof and located between the side walls. Each terminal (20) includes a tail portion (26) exposed in the cavity. The spacer is received in the cavity and comprises a pair of opposite pressing portions (34). The tail portions (26) of the terminals are sandwiched between the side walls and the pressing portions.
Claims10
An electrical connector comprising:
- a dielectric housing comprising a mounting surface, a pair of opposite side walls and a cavity in the mounting surface between the side walls;
- a plurality of terminals received in the dielectric housing and each comprising a tail portion exposed to the cavity;
- and
- a spacer received in the cavity and comprising an arced intermediate portion having opposite ends and a pair of pressing portions respectively extending from the opposite ends of the intermediate portion, the pressing portions tightly pressing the tail portions of the terminals on the side walls.
An electrical connector comprising:
- a dielectric housing comprising a mounting surface, and a cavity above the mounting surface, at least one side wall located beside said cavity;
- a plurality of terminals receiving in the dielectric housing and each comprising a tail portion located on an interior surface of the side wall and exposed to the cavity;
- and
- a spacer extending along a longitudinal direction of the housing and upwardly inserted into and received in the cavity and comprising a pressing portion, the pressing portions laterally pressing the tail portions of the terminals;
- wherein
- the spacer is essentially of a hollow type while with a plurality of reinforcement ribs therein.
An electrical connector comprising:
- a dielectric housing comprising a mounting face, and a cavity above the mounting face, at least one wall located beside said cavity;
- a plurality of terminals received in the dielectric housing and each comprising a tail portion located on an interior surface of the wall and exposed to the cavity;
- and
- a spacer extending along a longitudinal direction of the housing and upwardly inserted into and received in the cavity and comprising a pressing portion, the pressing portions laterally pressing the tail portions of the terminals;
- wherein
- the spacer is essentially of the hollow type while with a plurality of reinforcement ribs therein, and is inserted into the cavity after the tail portion are retained on the interior surface.
