Summary:A multiple-conductor electrical connector (32) for mounting on a printed circuit board which includes two rows of staggered insertion holes. The connector includes a housing (34) having an elongate cavity (40). A contact strip is formed with a continuous carrier and laterally extending contacts (36) gang-mountable in the elongate cavity of the housing. Each contact (36) includes a conductor receptacle positionable in the cavity, and a pair of laterally spaced terminal tails (56a,56b) projecting through the housing (34) from the cavity (40). The terminal tails (56a,56b) are independently severable whereby a terminal tail of any contact can be inserted into a hole in either row of staggered insertion holes in the printed circuit board. The contact receptacle is formed by an anvil portion (58) and a spring finger portion. The terminal tails (56a,56b) are stamped and formed out of the anvil portion (58) and/or the spring finger portion of the contact (36).
