a lateral segment having
a top;
a bottom;
a front end;
a rear end;
a row of through holes defined through the lateral segment;
a row of positioning passageways, the positioning passageways corresponding respectively to the through holes, defined through the lateral segment and communicating respectively with the through holes;
a row of limiting blocks, the limiting blocks corresponding respectively to the positioning passageways, formed on the top of the lateral segment and crossing respectively over the positioning passageways;
an upright segment formed on and protruding uprightly from the top of the lateral segment near the front end and having a row of open slots, the open slots defined through the upright segment, communicating respectively with the positioning passageways and each open slot having
two opposite sides; and
an open bottom communicating with the open slot; and
a plurality of terminals mounted on the insulative housing, corresponding respectively to the through holes, positioning passageways and open slots and having a plurality of terminals, each terminal having
a circular cross section;
a mounting section being L-shaped, mounted in the lateral segment of the insulative housing and having
a vertical portion mounted through a corresponding through hole of the lateral segment of the insulative housing; and
a level portion formed on and protruding substantially perpendicularly from the vertical portion, mounted in a corresponding positioning passageway and blocked by the limiting block over the corresponding positioning passageway;
