Patent ID: 7699625

Claim:
An electrical connector comprising: a connector body having a front end and a rear end, said connector body having passageways extending from said front end towards said rear end and separated by a separating board to form an upper row of first passageway segments and a lower row of second passageway segments, wherein said first passageway segment and said second passageway segment constitute the whole passageway; said separating board including an extension supporting portion unitarily formed with said rear end of the connector body to extend with a distance from said rear end; first terminals within the upper row of first passageway segments; second terminals within the lower row of second passageway segments; each of said first terminals including a first extension section seated upon a top surface of the extension supporting portion in a and away from said rear end of the connector body, and a tail portion; and wherein said extension supporting portion is formed with a plurality of back recesses in alignment with the respective passageway segments to supportably receive said tail portions of the corresponding terminals; wherein each of said second terminals includes a second extension section extending a second distance away from said rear end of the connector body; wherein said second distance of the second extension section is less than said first distance of the first extension section; wherein each of the first terminals includes a base section extended forwardly from the first extension section in a coplanar manner, the first extension section supported by said separating board, and a pair of cantilevered arms extending perpendicularly and forwardly from opposite side edges of the base section; and wherein said pair of resilient arms define barbs on upper edges thereof to retain the contact in the corresponding passageway.
