Abstract
An electrical connector includes a housing molded of dielectric material and having a recess defined by opposed side walls having inner surfaces. A plurality of terminals are mounted on the housing and include contact sections along at least one of the opposed side walls and exposed at the inner surface thereof. The terminals have distal ends at an end of the recess. At least some of the terminals have spacer tabs projecting laterally from edges of the contact sections of the terminals to maintain at least a minimum spacing between the distal ends of the terminals prior to molding the dielectric housing.
