Abstract
A connector equipped with auxiliary solder tabs which are self-adjustable as to height for ensuring coplanarity between solder terminals of the connector and the auxiliary solder tabs. The self-adjustability of the tabs ensures that the tabs will always properly contact a circuit board to which the connector is to be connected, independent of the plane defined by the solder terminal. The connector has at least one extension wall and various embodiments are proposed to achieve a pivotable relationship between the solder tab and the extension wall(s).
