First and second one-piece terminals each comprising a slotted component lead gripping portion and a tab portion are anchored in the housing with the tab portions extending closely adjacent tab portions of respective predetermined contacts to provide composite plugs whereby each terminal tab portions and contact tab portions can be plugged into a common aperture in a printed circuit board. A component may be located in a recess extending between the rows completely within the profile of the housing.
