Abstract
A modular connector (100) includes an insulative housing (1) defining a chamber (10). A terminal module insert (3) is fixedly received in the chamber and defines a plurality of passageways (330) therein. A plurality of terminals (34) are received in the passageways of the insert. Each terminal includes a mounting end (341), a fixing portion (342) engaging with a corresponding passageway of the insert and a mating end (344) downwardly and rearwardly extending from the fixing portion for engaging with a contact of a mating connector in a front-to-rear direction. The terminals have positioning portions at the fixing portions. The positioning portions are oriented perpendicularly to the front-to-rear direction.
