Abstract
An insert module for an electrical connector includes a spacer and contacts loaded therein. Clearance holes are defined through the spacer and horizontal holes are defined in a front end portion of the spacer in communication with the clearance holes. Receiving holes are defined in a bottom surface of the spacer in communication with the clearance holes and the horizontal holes. A contact in an initial straight shape is inserted into and through the horizontal hole for being upwardly and downwardly bent to respectively form a slanted spring contact portion and a right-angle bent tail portion received in the receiving hole. The clearance holes facilitate the downward bending of the contacts.
