Abstract
An electrical connector includes a row of terminals arranged in the first direction and including contact portions and soldering tails, an insulative housing in which the contact portions of the terminal are arranged and behind which the soldering tails are arranged and a spacer securely attached to the housing to position the soldering tail. The spacer has a top face and a bottom face and a row of through holes running through the top face and the bottom face to receive the corresponding soldering tails thereof. Each of through holes includes a guiding hole communicating with the top face and a receiving hole communicating with the bottom face. The guiding hole defines guiding faces intersecting with the top face to form a frame intersection. The frame intersections are aligned in the first direction while the receiving holes are offset.
