Abstract: A dielectric part is used with an electrical connector housing and a matable connector piece such as a printed circuit board. The electrical connector housing has a plurality of terminal pins secured therein with terminal pin portions extending from the electrical connector housing. The dielectric part includes a box-shaped dielectric part body that is fabricated from a stiff yet resilient dielectric material and has a plurality of dielectric part body holes sized and arranged to slidably receive the terminal pin portions. When the electrical connector housing and the matable connector piece are releasably connected together, the dielectric part body is disposed between the electrical connector housing and the matable connector piece and the terminal pin portions are slidably received in the plurality of dielectric part body holes thereby being enveloped by the dielectric part body to isolate the terminal pin portions from one another. An electrical assembly is also described.

Abstract: An electric connector 1 has an integrally-molded connector housing 2 and contact terminals 3 installed therein. The connector housing 2 has a supporting base 2A with front and rear surfaces, a pair of arm parts 2C, 2C extending outward, with a particular spacing therebetween, from the rear surface of the supporting base 2A, and a terminal attachment part 2B to which the contact terminals 3 are installed and which extends outward from the front surface of the supporting base 2A. The contact terminals 3 are installed to the terminal attachment part 2B. At each tip of the pair of arm parts 2C, 2C there is provided a latching parts 2D1, 2D1 with release finger which is detachably attached to a printed circuit board 5. An electric connector having an attaching means enabling simple installation to and removal from a circuit board is provided.
