Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0668635A2] An electrical connector (14) includes an elongated dielectric housing (16) having an elongated slot (18) disposed generally along a longitudinal axis (20) of the housing for receiving, edgewise, a printed circuit board. A plurality of terminals (28) are inserted in a given insertion direction (C) into a plurality of passages (22) along at least one side of the slot. Each terminal includes a retention portion (36) press-fit in a retention section (30) of a respective passage. The retention section is tapered in the insertion direction from a wider terminal-receiving mouth (30d) for facilitating insertion of a respective terminal into the passage to a narrower retention area (30e) for embracing the respective terminal at least in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis (20) of the housing. <IMAGE>
