Abstract
An electrical connector includes a plug portion and a receptacle portion. The plug portion includes a plurality of conductive pins, with a portion of each conductive pin surrounded by a non-conductive post. The receptacle portion includes a plurality of conductive pins recessed into a corresponding plurality of recesses within the receptacle portion. When the plug portion is mated to the receptacle portion, the conductive pins of the plug portion are received within the recesses of the receptacle portion and electrically connected to the conductive pins of the receptacle portion. To advantageously increase creepage and clearance between pins, it is desirable for each recess to have a depth sufficient to receive both a conductive pin and a corresponding surrounding non-conductive post when the plug portion is mated to the receptacle portion.
