Abstract
A connector (10) includes a housing (12) defining a plurality of passageways (16) for receiving a corresponding number of contacts therein. The housing (12) further includes three projection bars (20) extending rearward from a rear surface (18) of the housing (12) for protectively accommodating the corresponding plural contact tails therebetween. A mounting device (22) includes a pair of individual mounting ears (24, 24') which are relatively closely side by side positioned within two juxtaposed slots (38, 38') of the housing (12) wherein each mounting ear (24, 24') has a retention section (28, 28') interferentially embedded within a retention slit (44, 44') for fastening the mounting ear (24, 24') to the housing (12), and an L-shaped mounting section (32, 32') closely beside one side surface (36, 36') of the bar (20). These two mounting ears (24, 24') are compactly and closely arranged to be side by side positioned with each other and also spaced away from each other by a thin divider wall (42) of the housing (12). These two mounting ears (24, 24') are of a pair of mirror images with each other so that the two L-shaped mounting sections (32, 32') of the two mounting ears (24, 24') can respectively abut against two opposite side wall surface (36, 36') of each bar (20).
