Abstract
Disclosed is a two-piece connector including a plastic body and a top plate. The plastic body is formed of alternately arranged upper and lower pin holes for a plurality of pins to insert into. The upper and the lower pin holes are separated from one another by a separating wall between them. The top plate can be covered and connected to the plastic body by engaging two mortises on the top plate with two tenons on the plastic body. A portion of the top plate extends beyond the plastic body after the top plate is connected to the plastic body. A plurality of ribs are provided on a bottom surface of the portion of the top plate extending beyond the plastic body. Each clearance between two adjacent ribs forms a pin hole corresponding to one of the upper pin holes on the plastic body and forming a continuation of the upper pin hole. Pins can be more easily and accurately inserted into the upper pin holes before the top plate is covered to the plastic body to enhance the production efficiency.
