Flächenverbindbarer elektrischer Steckverbinder

摘要

An electrical connector (28) includes a dielectric housing (31) having a mounting face (32) adapted for surface mounting on a printed circuit board (36). A conductive terminal (42) is mounted on the housing and includes a board contact portion (64) for engagement with a circuit trace on the printed circuit board and a spring contact portion (30) for engagement with a contact element (26) of a mating connector component. The board contact portion (64) is fixed at the mounting face (32) of the housing and is adapted to engage the circuit trace on the printed circuit board (36) in a direction generally perpendicular to the board. The spring contact portion (30) of the terminal (42) projects from a side (50) of the housing (31) and is adapted to engage the contact element (26) of the mating connector component when the contact element is moved in a direction generally parallel to the board (36).
