Abstract:
A connector having improved dielectric strength, said connector comprising:a lower portion with a front side, a rear side and a bottom;a pair of terminals being disposed in said lower portion, each of said pair of terminals having a side extension and a wire wrap tail;a first terminal of said pair of terminals disposed in said lower portion toward said front side;a second terminal of said pair of terminals disposed in said lower portion toward said rear side thereby forming a gap between said side extension of said first of said pair of terminals and said side extension of said second of said pair of terminals,a base having a pair of terminal openings for receiving said wire-wrap tails, said base being dimensioned and shaped for receiving said lower portion;a protruding wall disposed between said pair of terminal openings; anda notch disposed on said bottom of said lower portion adjacent said gap and facing said base, said notch partially bounding at least said first terminal and being dimensioned and shaped so that when said lower portion is placed in said base, said protruding wall is matingly engaged with said notch so as to form a dielectric barrier in said gap between said side extension of said terminals.
