Angled circuit board connector

摘要

Disclosed is an improved board connector having an insulating housing with terminals mounted therein and an exterior shell fitting on the insulating housing. The exterior shell has long and short legs that fix the connector to a printed circuit board at a predetermined oblique angle to permit the oblique insertion of an opposing connector into the board connector without fear of interference with surrounding components. Thus, there is no need to leave extra space ahead of the connector to permit the opposing connector to lay flat ahead of the board connector on the circuit board when mating the two connectors together.
