Board to board electrical connector with height adjustment.

摘要

An improved board-to-board electrical connector (1) includes opposite guide posts (4, 5) which height can be reduced before the connector is placed into an automated soldering apparatus for soldering the connector terminals to selected conductors of a printed circuit board (6). Each guide post (4, 5) includes an upper (5b) and a lower section (5a) and the height adjustment of the guide (4, 5) posts is effected by pivotally mounting the upper sections (5b) of the guide posts such that they can be rotated into a vertical or horizontal position.
