Connector Spacer Chamfer and Stopping Wall Design

The spacer is divided into multiple sections including a mounting end with intermediate chamfers and stopping walls. This segmentation allows the mounting end to be specifically designed for easy alignment and insertion onto the ladder-shaped back end of the insulative body, while other parts of the spacer maintain their structural functions. The intermediate chamfers create a tapered guide surface that facilitates smooth mounting without interference.

The intermediate chamfer acts as an intermediary geometric feature between the mounting surface of the spacer and the ladder-shaped back end of the insulative body. This chamfered transition surface mediates the connection by providing a gradual alignment path that eliminates sharp edges and potential interference points, enabling smooth insertion while maintaining the structural integrity of both components.

Stopping walls are预先 constructed at the interface between the spacer and insulative body before the molding process. These stopping walls create preliminary barriers that redirect molten plastic flow away from the insulative body during injection molding. By preparing these protective structures in advance, the design prevents plastic intrusion that would otherwise compromise electrical connections.

The stopping walls convert the potentially harmful molten plastic flow into a beneficial containment feature. By strategically positioning these walls, the design utilizes the molten plastic's natural flow direction to fill the housing cavity while the stopping walls redirect any plastic that might otherwise intrude into the insulative body, effectively transforming a harmful effect into a controlled molding process feature.
