Abstract
A material plate for forming an electric connector includes a main plate, a number of legs extended from the main plate, a number of spaced terminal main bodies spaced from the main plate, a number of spaced horizontal pins, and a number of elevated pins. The terminal main bodies are integrally formed with the horizontal pins and the elevated pins in an alternate manner. Each elevated pin includes a root end that is integrally formed with an end of an associated terminal main body. Each leg extends between an associated elevated pin and an associated horizontal pin. A distal end of each leg is located adjacent to the root end of the associated elevated pin. The distal end of each leg includes a connecting piece that is connected to the associated main body with which the associated elevated pin is integrally formed. The connecting piece is also connected to the associated horizontal pin. Each connecting piece includes a V-shaped cut located adjacent to the associated horizontal pin. Each connecting piece further includes a V-shaped transverse cut located adjacent to the root section of the associated elevated pin. The main plate and the legs can be removed by means of breaking along the V-shaped cuts and the V-shaped transverse cuts.
