Abstract
An electrical connector comprises an elongate insulative housing, a plurality of terminals retained in the housing and a stuffer. A pair of retention holes is formed in each end of the stuffer corresponding to ribs formed on opposite ends of the housing. Each terminal includes a mating end, a first mating tail and a second mating tail. A first gap is defined between the first mating tails of the terminals and the stuffer for receiving an end of a first flexible cable with the first mating tails contacting the first flexible cable. A second gap is defined between the second mating tails of the terminals and the stuffer for receiving an end of a second flexible cable with the second mating tails contacting the second flexible cable.
