Abstract

A connector housing included multiple rows of contacts with the housing molded to provide an orientation to receive printed circuit board modules inserted therein at an angle of substantially less than 90 degrees relative to a common printed circuit board module mounting board. The rows of the housings have at each end board guide and support slots containing latches integrally therewith and a central structural web connecting said rows and guide ends, the such web providing structural support of said rows and at the same time, serving as a path of flow during the connector molding process.
