ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector which can be mounted to a printed circuit board with automated equipment. The connector has a pair of locating pins that extend from a pair of locating tabs at the ends of the connector housing. The connector also has a plurality of solder tails that can be soldered to corresponding surface pads of the printed circuit board. To assemble the connector to a printed circuit board, the locating pins are pressed into corresponding locating holes of the board. The locating pins and holes align the solder tails with the surface pads of the board. The locating pins are located at a position offset from the center of gravity of the connector. The offset locating pins place the center of gravity of the connector closer to the edge of the circuit board so that the weight of the connector does not pull the solder tails away from the surface pads before the solder tails are soldered to the board.
