Abstract
An electrical connector comprises an insulating body having an external surface with an area on the surface provided for abutting a printed wiring board. A plurality of contacts are internal the insulating body with at least a few of the contacts extending to the area. Leads extending outwardly from the surface are at a location exterior the area. A plurality of conductive paths on the surface provide electrical connection between the contacts and respective leads whereby a portion of the surface is unobstructed by contact tails for abutting the edge of the printed wiring board. The surface itself may be formed as part of a printed wiring board.
