Abstract
An electrical connector includes an insulative connector body with two arms extending from opposite sides thereof. A plurality of rows of pin receiving channels are defined in the connector body each receiving an L-shaped terminal pin having a horizontal portion and a vertical portion. The horizontal portion of each of the terminal pins is partially received in the corresponding pin receiving channel and partially exposed. A pin holding member is arranged between and mounted to the arms of the connector body and defines slots for receiving and retaining the exposed portions of the horizontal portions of the terminal pins therein thereby protecting the exposed portions against deformation when mounting the connector to a circuit board.
