ABSTRACT:
A connector includes an insulative housing and a plurality of terminals received in the receiving holes. The insulative housing includes a first surface, a second surface opposite to the first surface, and third and fourth surfaces connected between the first surface and the second surface. A plurality of receiving holes is defined in the insulative housing extending between the first surface and the second surface. A recess is defined in the third surface thereby forming a partition between the recess and each of the receiving holes. The recess provides an engaging portion of the receiving hole with assembling elasticity. Therefore when each terminal is inserted into the engaging portion of the receiving hole, the engaging portion of the receiving hole is resiliently deformed to receive an interferential portion of the terminal, and engaged with the partition for securely fixing the terminal to the insulative housing thereby preventing the terminal from getting loose.
