ABSTRACT:
Terminals having rectangular post sections of very small dimension are secured in housing passageways of an electrical connector, which passageways are molded using core pins larger in dimension than said very small dimensioned terminal post sections, so that the oversized core pins are robust and endure repeated molding cycles. End sections of the core pins have the very small dimension of the terminal post sections and the paassageways have constricted end sections which precisely locate the terminal post section along the connector mating face. An increased terminal width at the insertion face creates an interference fit within the passageway for retention. The core pin has a strength rib along most of one side and the forward rib end is tapered to the reduced-dimension pin end section which results in a tapered passageway transition surface to eliminate terminal stubbing during insertion. The rib has tapered side surfaces therealong extending to the adjacent side surfaces of the otherwise rectilinear core pin, and the resulting tapered surfaces along the molded passageway tend to urge the terminal post section during insertion towards the opposing side wall assisting axial alignment of the terminal post section.
