Abstract
An electrical connector (10) having a housing (12) and contact members (16) having vertical sections (36) extending along slots (42) of a rear housing face (24) and concluding in horizontal feet (40) adapted for surface mounting to a circuit board. Positioning recesses (60) receive flanges (62) of vertical contact sections (36) in a snug fit assuredly holding feet (40) along board-mounting face (26) facilitating surface mounting. A rib (64) is defined in each recess (60) to be deformed by a surface (66) of its associated flange (62) during insertion to anchor the flanges in the recesses.
