ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR FOR MOUNTING ON THE SURFACE OF A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD

摘要

Electrical connector for mounting on the surface of a printed circuit board, comprising a housing made of electrically insulating material provided with a number of channels for the accommodation of contact elements, and with contact elements made of electrically conducting material accommodated in the channels. The contact elements are provided with a contact end for contacting a further contact element, a connection end projecting beyond the bottom surface of the housing, for connecting the contact element to a corresponding connection face on the surface of the printed circuit board, and a base part extending between the contact end and the connection end. The connection end of the contact element is provided with a connection face facing away from the bottom surface of the housing, which connection face is displaceable relative to said bottom surface from a predetermined mounting starting position in the direction of said surface over a distance which corresponds to the difference between the greatest and smallest distances between the bottom surface of the connector and the printed circuit board with maximum permissible curvature.
