Abstract

In a compact printed circuit board connector adapted to be mounted at a printed circuit board and intended to be soldered to the printed circuit board simultaneously with other electrical components in a heating oven by using a solder paste for soldering the components, a channel is provided which extends through the interior of the printed circuit board connector. The channel serves for circulating a flow of heated gas through the interior of the connector in order to quickly achieve the required soldering temperature at the soldering ends of the contact elements.
