Abstract

An electrical connector includes an outer shell defining an inner cavity, wherein the outer shell includes a shell alignment element and a solder tab having a substantially flat solder tab engagement surface for surface mounting to a circuit board. An inner member is received within the inner cavity, and the inner member includes a dielectric member having a dielectric alignment element engaging the shell alignment element for positioning the dielectric member with respect to the outer shell. The dielectric member includes a contact cavity extending axially through the dielectric member. A contact is received within the contact cavity, and the contact includes a contact engagement surface for surface mounting to the circuit board. The contact and solder tab engagement surfaces are aligned in a predetermined planar arrangement.
