Electrical connector mounting posts.

摘要

The electrical connector includes mounting posts for insertion into through-holes of a printed circuit board. The connector includes a connector housing having an upper connection surface and an lower board mounting surface. A pair of mounting posts extend from the lower mounting surface adjacent each end of the connector. Each of the mounting posts is insertable into a through-hole in the printed circuit for frictional engagement with the walls of the through-hole. The mounting posts include curved portions for engagement with the walls of the through-holes. The curved portions of the mounting posts have a radius of curvature which is substantially less than the radius of curvature of the through-holes to compensate for variations in tolerances as between the mounting post and the through-holes.
