Each housing half includes a plurality of parallel spaced apart contact guides defining contact receptacles therebetween. Each housing half further includes a longitudinally extending contact retaining wall adjacent the top of the housing half and defining a portion of each contact receptacle. Each terminal includes a central mounting portion, a solder tail at one end and a contact beam at the other end. The contact beam is of a double bent configuration to provide anti-overstress protection to the terminals in use. The terminals are heat staked into the respective receptacles such that the end of the each contact beam is biased against the contact retaining wall. The substantially identical housing halves with the terminals heat staked therein are hermaphroditically mated and are heat staked together.
