Abstract
A surface mount electrical connector having lead portions of first and second series of terminals extending in alternating closely spaced parallel relation across a circuit board from a rear face of a connector housing. The lead portions have transverse soldering portions on respective free ends and the lead porions of the second series are longer than those of the first series and the lead portion of each series are of equal length so that the soldering portions of the first and second series are located in first and second rows with the first row being closer to the housing than the second row. The soldering potions of the first row have respective upstanding heater engaging portions so that the heater can be brought into engagement therewith without interfering with adjacent lead portions or with soldering portions of the other row.
