Abstract

An electrical connector has first terminals which are surface mounted to respective sides of a substrate and second terminals which extend through an edge surface of the substrate to make electrical connection to an opening provided in the substrate. As the connector is mated to the edge of the substrate, the connector occupies a minimal space on the substrate.
