Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing, and plural rows of contact modules therein. Each contact module includes plural contacts integrally formed within an insulator/wafter which extends in a longitudinal direction. In each contact module, each contact includes a main body with opposite contacting arms on upper and lower sections wherein the contacts in the same contact carrier are originally linked with the neighboring contacts around lateral sides of the main body for insert-molding consideration, and the corresponding linking sections are removed for disconnecting the neighboring the contacts after insert-molding to form the final complete contact module. Each contacting arm forms a hole with two spaced beams by two sides of the hole. The contact may further include a holding tab exposed in the hole so as to allow a gripping tool to be engaged thereon for assembling the contact module into the channel of the housing.
