Abstract

An electrical connector includes a plurality of terminals with tail portions and an insulating housing defining a mounting face and a mating face opposite to the mounting face. The insulating housing includes a plurality of parallel first walls extending in a first direction and a plurality of parallel second walls extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and unitarily intersecting with the first walls to construe a plurality of passageway to receive the terminals. The tail portions of the terminals extend beyond two outermost first walls in the second direction. A pair of first ribs extends from one second wall away from the mounting face and the ribs do not exceed the outermost first walls in the second direction.
