ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having an forwardly projecting mating portion with a continuous or uninterrupted leading edge. A plurality of terminals are mounted on the housing with contact portions on at least one side of the forwardly projecting mating portion. A recess is formed adjacent the continuous leading edge of the mating portion in line with the contact portion of at least one of the terminals. The recess is deep enough to avoid at least initial engagement of the mating portion by a resilient contact of a mating connector.
