Patent ID: 6851972

Claim:
A connector device comprising: a terminal assembly, which includes a plurality of terminals, wherein the terminals are arranged in at least one plane and are held by a dielectric holder, and each terminal includes: an external terminal portion; and an internal electrical conductor portion, wherein the internal electrical conductor portion includes at least one lateral projection, and each lateral projection is bent relative to the at least one plane and is opposed to a corresponding lateral projection of an adjacent one of the terminals; and a connector housing, which includes a plurality of internal electrical lines, wherein the connector housing receives the terminal assembly and includes at least one dielectric insertion projection and a plurality of housing segments, wherein each dielectric insertion projection is provided on at least one of the housing segments and is located between two corresponding opposed ones of the lateral projections, wherein: at least one of the housing segments includes at least one of the internal electrical lines; each external terminal portion protrudes outwardly from the connector housing, and each internal electrical conductor portion is received within the connector housing; and at least one of the housing segments includes a plurality of support portions, wherein the support portions are provided on an internal surface of the housing segment and support the internal electrical conductor portions of the terminals.
