Surface mount electrical connector

摘要

A low profile surface mount electrical connector (10) is provided for connecting an electronic component such as an IC card on a planar surface (28) of a printed circuit board (30) which includes circuit traces thereon. The connector (10) includes a generally flat insulating housing (12) overmolded about a plurality of stamped and formed electrical terminals (14). The housing has a bottom surface (16). Each terminal includes a generally planar surface mount portion (18) projecting from the housing (12) generally coplanar with the bottom surface (16) thereof for electrical connection to a circuit trace on the planar surface (28) of the printed circuit board (30). Each terminal (14) includes a contact arm portion (20) folded back over the surface mount portion (18) for electrical connection to the electronic component. <IMAGE>
