An electrical connector adapted to prevent tipping during a board assembly processes is provided including a connector body, a signal contact, a grounding post, and an anti-tipping lock. The connector body includes a separable interface end and a mounting end. The mounting end is adapted to be assembled to a circuit board. The separable interface end includes a mating contact that joins a mating connector and contact. The signal contact and grounding post extend from the mounting end. The anti-tipping lock is mounted to the connector body, and includes a board mounting feature extending from the anti-tipping lock. The board mounting feature extends in a direction substantially parallel to the direction along which the signal contact is joined to the circuit board. The board mounting feature is adapted to maintain the connector assembly in place when the connector assembly is mounted to an electrical component, such as a circuit board.
