SURFACE-MOUNT CONNECTOR WITH ANTI-WICKING STRUCTURE

摘要

A surface-mount connector ( 100 ) comprises an insulating housing ( 1 ) defining passageways thereon and a plurality of contacts ( 2 ) arranged in the passageways. Each contact comprises a soldering section ( 33 ) extending out the housing, an engagement point ( 321 ) and a middle portion connecting the soldering section and the engagement point. The middle portion touches at least one sidewall of each passageway, and a cutout ( 17 ) is formed on said at least one sidewall of the passageway to space the middle portion from said at least one sidewall.
