ABSTRACT:
A right angle connector assembly (20) has a plurality of rows of contact receiving passages (36) laterally aligned with parallel profiled channels (112, 114) in a solder post spacer plate (46). Contacts (38) having a mating portion (40) and a mounting portion (42), typically a solder post (44), are inserted into all of the contact receiving passages (36) in a row simultaneously. Concurrent therewith, the solder posts (44) thereof are inserted into alternate profiled channels (112, 114) in the solder post spacer plate (46). As the solder posts (44) are inserted into the channels (112, 114) the portion (122, 124) of the post spacer plate (46) between adjacent channels (112, 114) deflect laterally with a different effective beam length (126, 154, 170) for each row of contacts (38) inserted. Contacts (38) seat in detents (148, 162 and 130) in channels (112, 114).
