Electrical connector with solder mask.

摘要

An electrical connector (10) is provided for mounting to a printed circuit board (24). The connector includes an insulating housing (12) having a body (16) with a through cavity (18) for receiving an electrical terminal (14) to be soldered to a circuit trace on a printed circuit board. A solder masking hollow peg (20) projects from one side of the body for insertion in a hole (22) in the printed circuit board (24) for preventing solder from entering the hole during soldering of the electrical terminal to the circuit trace on the printed circuit board. The interior of the hollow peg (32) communicates with the through cavity in the body to allow a mating terminal to be inserted through the hollow peg into contact with the terminal inside the body.
