Abstract
A forward housing member for an electrical connector of the type having an array of contacts disposed within a dielectric housing assembly includes a generally planar body section and an array of contact receiving passageways extending therethrough from a forward face to a rearward face thereof, the forward housing passageways having a selected dimension and a selected location. The forward housing member is assembled to a forward face of a discrete rearward housing member such that the passageways are generally aligned with corresponding passageways of the rearward housing member and forward contact sections of the contacts in the corresponding rearward passageways extend in a close fit into the passageways of the forward housing member. The forward housing member defines a mating face of the resultant connector assembly wherein only the forward housing member need be precisely molded for forward sections of the contacts to at least be exposed for electrical connection at precisely located contact positions across the mating face.
