ABSTRACT:
An elongated electrical connector includes an elongated dielectric housing having a mating face and a longitudinal cavity defining a transverse insertion axis generally perpendicular to the mating face for receiving at least one terminal module. The terminal module includes a plurality of identically stamped terminals which are elongated in the direction of the insertion axis. The terminals having mating ends projecting from the housing beyond the mating face thereof. At least one of the identically stamped terminals has a bend therein to reduce the length thereof such that the mating end thereof projects from the housing a lesser distance beyond the mating face than the mating ends of the other terminals. A longitudinal dielectric insert is receivable in the cavity and is molded about portions of the identically stamped terminals.
