1. An electrical connector, comprising: an insulative housing, the housing including a first face, the first face including first and second card-receiving slots spaced apart thereon, the first and second card-receiving slots being sized to receive mating ends of mating portions of a component that is mateable with the connector;a set of frames supported by the insulative housing, each frame of the set of frames including at least four grooves; andfour terminals supported by each frame, two of the four terminals extending into the first card-receiving slot and the other two of the four terminals extending into the second card receiving slot, wherein the four grooves in each of the frames are correspondingly aligned with the four terminals and wherein at least two of the grooves respectively expose a substantial portion of corresponding terminals to air and each of the at least two grooves have a first portion that extends in a direction aligned with the card receiving slots and a second portion that extends at an angle to the first portion. 2. The connector of claim 1, wherein each of the four grooves associated with the four terminals are configured so that each respective terminal has a substantial portion exposed to air. 3. The connector of claim 1, wherein each of the four terminals of each frame are positioned on different sides of the first and second card-receiving slots. 4. The connector of claim 1, each of the four terminals has a bend and each of the grooves extends around the bend. 5. The connector of claim 4, wherein the bends separates two regions of each of the terminals and the two regions extend in directions that are substantially at a right angle to each other. 6. The connector of claim 1, wherein each frame further comprises a clip configured to engage the housing.
