A method is provided for attaching a connector with connector tails to a printed circuit board (PCB) having contacts. The method includes steps of: supplying and supporting the PCB; applying solder paste to the PCB contacts; inserting mounting hardware through the connector holes; presenting the connector to the PCB in a position above and parallel to the PCB; lowering the connector to align the mounting hardware with PCB orifices; pressingly engaging the connector tails against the PCB contacts to make the connector tails coplanar; tightening the mounting hardware to secure the connector to the PCB; and soldering the connector tails to the PCB contacts. In one embodiment, the mounting hardware is a rivet. In another embodiment, the mounting hardware is a nut and bolt. In yet another embodiment, the mounting hardware is electrically non-conductive.
