PCT No. PCT/US94/03560 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 19, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 19, 1995 PCT Filed Mar. 31, 1994An 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 32 has a wedge-like projection 34 on its inner wall which bites into the peg 16 thus fixing the ring 32 to the peg 16. When the board 10 is subjected to an automatic soldering operation, a solder connection is achieved between the conductor 30 of the board 10 and the cylindrical metal ring 32 fitted over the peg 16, thereby fixing the connector 12 to the board 10.
