摘要

A connector housing has a circuit board mounting face, at least one retention member securing the connector to the printed circuit board. The retention member is U-shaped, defining a pair of leg sections extending perpendicular to the printed circuit board and a bight section joining the leg sections parallel to the printed circuit board. The bight section defines a pad for solder connection to a solder pad on the circuit board, the bight section having a given width transverse to the U-shaped profile of the retention member. A recess in the circuit board mounting face of the connector housing is complementarily shaped for receiving at least one of the leg sections of the retention member in an interference fit. The at least one leg section is narrower than the given width of the bight section including at least one stabilising flange projecting from the bight section into a complementarily shaped recess in the circuit board mounting face. The stabilising flange is coplanar with, narrower and shorter than the at least one leg section.
