Abstract
An electrical connector assembly includes a plurality of right-angled conductive terminals and a two-part terminal housing consisting of a main connector frame and a terminal positioning frame. The main connector frame includes a connector block portion for holding the horizontal contact portions of the conductive terminals, and a pair of parallel support arms that extend downwardly from the connector block portion and that cooperate with the connector block portion to confine an accommodating space for accommodating at least one electrical connector below the connector block portion and in front of the support arms. A guide plate extends between the support arms, and is formed with a plurality of notches to permit the vertical solder tail portions of the conductive terminals to extend downwardly through the guide plate. The terminal positioning frame is formed separately from the main connector frame, and is disposed below the guide plate. The terminal positioning frame is provided with solder tail holes that are registered with the notches in the guide plate to permit extension of the vertical solder tail portions of the conductive terminals therethrough.
