Egg Crating

Insulation walls between each cavity within the contact wire entry face of the connector housing, usually appearing as rectangular cells. It normally allows the rear portion of the contact to be fully protected by housing material, thereby preventing shorts between adjacent contacts, and minimizing the flexing of wires and/or contacts.
