Abstract
Electrical connector receptacle comprises an insulating housing having a plug-receiving end and a plug-receiving cavity extending into the plug-receiving end. A plurality of side-by-side stamped and formed conductors are insert-molded in the housing and have intermediate portions imbedded in the housing between one of the internal sidewalls of the opening and the adjacent external sidewall of the housing. First end portions of the conductors emerge from the one internal sidewall of the opening proximate to the plug-receiving end and extend diagonally from the internal sidewall into the cavity, these first end portions serving as spring contacts. The second ends of the conductors emerge from the adjacent external sidewall at a location adjacent to the rearward end of the housing. Stamped and formed metallic mounting posts are imbedded into the housing and extend from the adjacent external sidewall. These mounting posts are intended for soldering into metallic pads on a circuit board mechanically to secure the housing to the circuit board.
