Abstract
An electrical connector for connecting multiconductor cable includes a dielectric terminal seat and a plurality of male terminals. The male terminals are arranged in intersecting rows, and have contact pin portions and leg portions which project from two sides of the dielectric terminal seat, respectively. A printed circuit board is formed with a plurality of conducting indentations in its peripheral end, a plurality of conducting slots when are surrounded by the conducting indentations for making electrical connection with respective ones of the leg portions when the leg portions are inserted therein, and conducting lines for electrically interconnecting the conducting slots and the conducting indentations. Thus, each indentation facilitates locating and making a soldered electrical connection with a respective one of the wire conductors of the cable.
