An electrical connector (12) is provided which can be fixed to a printed circuit board (10) through the utilization of an automatic soldering station. A peg (16) is projected from a housing body (14) of the connector (12) and inserted through an insertion hole (28) of the printed circuit board (10). A solderable conductor (30) is arranged around an insertion hole (28) on the solder side (10b) of the board (10). A cylindrical metal ring (32) is fitted over the peg (16). The cylindrical metal ring has a wedge-like projection (34) on its inner wall which bites into the peg thus fixing the ring to the peg. When the board (10) is subjected to an automatic soldering operation, a solder connection is achieved between the conductor (30) of the board and the cylindrical metal ring (32) fitted over the peg (16), thereby fixing the connector to the board.
