Abstract
A connector for a printed circuit board (9) comprises a housing (1) containing contacts (5,6,7). The housing is fixed to the board by the engagement of splined pins (4) at either end, in corresponding holes 11 in the board. As the connector is pressed down onto the board, the contacts engage contact surfaces (10) on the latter and are pushed back into the housing. A layer (8) of frictional material, through which the contacts pass retains them in their adjusted position during subsequent handling and soldering. The contacts can have lower ends of different profiles of which three are shown.
