AUF EINE OBERFLAECHE MONTIERBARE VERBINDUNG.

摘要

A right angle surface mount connector comprises a housing (10) having contacts (40) secured in passages (24) extending between the mating face (12) and the rear face (15). Each contact (40) has a mating portion (42), s sholder tail (58), and a bend (56) therebetween, The rear face (15) of the connector has a rib (16) with side-by-side channels (17) having V-shaped floors (19) therein, a portion of each solder tail (58) being disposed resiliently against a respective floor (19) so that the tails (58) are self-centering but can move laterally. Each contact (40) is retained in the housing (10) by retaining plate (46) having scalloped edge surfaces (48) received in passage (24) in an interference fit. A cantilever arm (54) between the retaining plate (46) and the bend (56) assures compliance of the solder tails (58) against the circuit board (2).
