Abstract
An electrical connector is disclosed for mounting on a surface of a printed circuit board wherein the connector includes a dielectric housing having a bottom mounting face, a forward mating face and a rearward terminating face. A plurality of contact passages are provided in the housing and extending between the forward mating face and the rearward terminating face and defining top and bottom rows and vertical columns of passages, with at least a pair of passages in each column. A plurality of contacts are secured in the passages and have contact sections projecting from the forward mating face and terminating sections projecting from the rearward terminating face connectable to corresponding circuit traces on the printed circuit board. The terminating sections of the contacts in the bottom row thereof are formed at relatively large angles, and the terminating sections of the contacts in the top row thereof are formed at relatively smaller angles, for connection to corresponding circuit traces on the printed circuit board spaced different distances from the rearward terminating face of the housing. The housing has a recessed area in the rearward terminating face encompassing ends o…
