An electrical connector has a terminal housing that includes a central body, a terminal support plate, and a tail aligning plate. The body is formed with a plurality of terminal openings. The terminal support plate extends forwardly from the back plate, and is provided with a plurality of horizontally extending terminal cavities that are vertically aligned and that are normal to the body. The terminal cavities correspond respectively to the terminal openings. The tail aligning plate extends rearwardly from the body, and is provided with a plurality of notches that form a horizontal array parallel to the body. Each of a plurality of terminals includes a vertical solder tail portion retained in a respective one of the notches, a horizontal terminal mating portion received in a respective one of the terminal cavities, and a retention portion between the solder tail portion and the terminal mating portion and engaging the back plate in a respective one of the terminal openings.
