ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a connector (20) including dielectric housing (24) having a mating face (26) and a rear housing face (28) with a plurality of contact receiving passages (32) extending therebetween. A spacer plate (22) extends rearwardly from proximate the rear housing face between first (202) and second (302) flanges. The spacer plate (22) has a plurality of solder tail receiving channels (42) extending forward from the rear face toward the rear housing face for receiving one or more solder tails (40) of contacts (34). The channels (42) define therebetween beams (120 or 122) having detents (70) for seating a solder tail (40). A plurality of contacts (34) are secured in the housing (24). The spacer plate (22) has a first slot (200) between the first flange (202) and a first channel (242) adjacent thereto. The first slot (200) extends substantially parallel to the first channel (242) and is interrupted by a protrusion or bridging member (206) extending between the first flange (202) and the beam (204) between the first slot (200) and the first channel (242). In this manner, the slot is divided into at least two segments (208, 210) with one of the segments (210) extending rearward from the bridging member (206) and the other segment (208) extending forward from the bridging member (206).
