Connector having a pin guide for use with a printed circuit board

A connector having a pin guide, the connector comprising:

• a housing having terminal receiving recesses;
• terminals having securing sections and substrate mating ends, the securing sections maintain the terminals in the terminal receiving recesses, the substrate mating ends extend from the housing, the substrate mating ends having substrate mating portions, lateral projections positioned between the securing sections and the substrate mating portions;
• the pin guide removably attached to the housing, the pin guide having terminal receiving cavities for receiving the substrate mating ends of the terminals therein, positioning recesses are provided proximate each cavity, the positioning recesses are proximate a substrate mounting surface of the pin guide, the positioning recesses have shoulders which cooperate with respective terminals;
• the lateral projections of the terminals engage the shoulders of positioning recesses of the pin guide wherein as the substrate mating portions are inserted in the through holes of a substrate, forces applied to the substrate mating portions will be transferred to the pin guide through the engagement of the lateral projections with the shoulders of the positioning recesses.
