Electrical device, such as an electrical connector receptacle, for surface mounting on a circuit board

摘要

Electrical device, such as a connector receptacle, which is intended for mounting on the same side of a circuit board as the conductors are on comprises a housing having one surface which is opposed to the surface of the circuit board. The conductors in the device extend along the one surface of the housing and beyond an adjacent face of the housing. The end portions of the conductors extend in a zig-zag manner to a contact portion. The zig-zag compliant portions are unrestrained and can adapt themselves to slight movement of the housing without damage to the solder connections between the conductors on the circuit board and the contact portions of the conductors.
