Abstract
Socket for use on a circuit board which can be eyeletted to secure the socket in fixed position on the board with the head of the socket engaging the board. The head is shaped, as with flat sides, so that a vent passage extends from the space for solder between the socket and the opening in the circuit board. The head has a top surface at a fixed height above the board, and has a tapered opening to receive a plug-in connector pin. The circuit board structure, with the socket soldered to the conductor on the inside surface of the opening in the circuit board, provides a good electrical connection to the socket.
