Abstract
A straddle mount connector includes a housing that has a mating end and a mounting end configured to be mounted to an edge of a circuit board. The housing has a top and a bottom. The housing has an upper mounting feature extending from the mounting end proximate to the top and a lower mounting feature extending from the mounting end proximate to the bottom. The upper and lower mounting features are configured to extend into an opening through the circuit board to secure the housing to the circuit board. Contacts are held by the housing and extend from the mounting end and are configured to be terminated to both sides of the circuit board. The contacts are arranged at the mating end and are configured for mating with a corresponding mating component.
