An electrical connector (1/1A) for either through hole mounting or surface mounting comprises a common dielectric housing (10), a plurality of terminals (12) retained therein, and a pair of securing devices (20 or 120) mutually exclusively fixed in the housing. The securing devices are either a pair of board locks (21) or a pair of soldering pads (121). A mounting face (10b) of the housing forms two pairs of standoffs (15) at its opposite ends, and each pair of standoffs defines an opening (15a) therebetween. A retaining recess (14) is defined in the housing within each opening. The boardlocks (21) or soldering pads (121) each form a base portion (21a or 122) which engages with a retaining recess. A fork portion (21b) of each board lock engages with a retaining hole in a circuit board for through hole mounting, and a soldering portion (123) of each soldering pad engages with a mounting pad of a circuit board for surface mounting.
