Abstract
An electrical connector may include a connector housing and a first alignment post. The first alignment post may extend from the bottom of the connector housing. The electrical connector may further include a protrusion that extends from the bottom of the connector housing. The protrusion may impede the electrical connector from tipping in at least one direction relative to a substrate. Additionally, the protrusion may be positioned relative to the center of gravity of the electrical connector to impede the electrically connector from tipping in at least one direction relative to the substrate.
