  • Electrical connectors and mating connector assemblies
    Patent number: 7780486
    Abstract: An electrical connector includes a terminal body defining at least two openings therein. Electrical terminals positioned in each of the at least two openings defined by the terminal body include respective crimp sections that extend beyond an end of the terminal body. A separator fin attached to the end of the terminal body extends beyond the crimp sections of the electrical terminals and is located between the at least two openings in the terminal body so that the separator fin defines a structure that is closed on an inner side to physically separate the crimp sections of the electrical terminals and open on an outer side so that the crimp sections of the electrical terminals are exposed.
