Abstract
Right angle surface mount connector comprises a housing loaded with stamped and formed contacts, each having a mating portion, a solder tail, and a bend therebetween. The rear face of the connector has a rib with side-by-side channels having V-shaped floors therein, a portion of each solder tail being disposed resiliently against a respective floor so that the tails are self-centering but can move laterally. The contact is retained in the housing by a scalloped plate adjacent the mating portion, a cantilever arm between the plate and the bend assuring compliance of solder tails against the circuit board.
