Abstract
An electrical connector is mountable to a substrate such as a printed circuit board. The connector includes a molded dielectric housing having terminals mounted through an elongated body portion of the housing. The terminals have tails projecting rearwardly of the body portion. A plurality of discrete mating portions are spaced along the body portion and project forwardly of a front face thereof. A recessed area is formed in the front face of the body portion between adjacent forwardly projecting mating portions. A rib projects rearwardly of the body portion between the tails of the terminals for adjacent mating portions. The recessed areas form flow interrupters for molten material of which the housing is molded.
