Patent ID: 7318757

Claim:
A housing for an electrical connector, the housing comprising: a body portion that defines a mating face, a receiving face opposite the mating face, a first cavity extending from the receiving face to the mating face, and a second cavity extending from the receiving face to the mating face, wherein (i) the first cavity is adapted to receive a first leadframe assembly in a first direction, (ii) the second cavity is adapted to receive a second leadframe assembly in the first direction, (iii) each leadframe assembly defines a leadframe mating sequence, and (iv) the body portion defines a structure that is adapted to offset the first leadframe assembly in the first direction with respect to the second leadframe assembly such that, when both of the leadframe assemblies are received into the respective cavities, the leadframe assemblies are arranged relative to one another to define a connector mating sequence that differs from the leadframe mating sequence.
