ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly (10) includes a pair of identical connectors (12) wherein each connector (12) includes an elongated housing (14) defining a first and a second side wall (15, 17) with a plurality of surface mount type contacts (19) thereon. At least two boardlocks (27, 28) respectively extend downward from the housing (14). The leg devices of such boardlocks (27, 28) are not located on the center line of the housing wherein the leg device of one boardlock (27) is close to the first side wall (15) and the leg device of the other boardlock (28) is close to the second wall (17). The PC board (100) includes at least two pairs of holes (106, 106', 108, 108') in the predetermined area which is used for mounting the connectors (12) thereto. Therefore, when these two connectors (12) are mounted to the predetermined area from two opposite sides, the leg device of one boardlock (27) adjacent the first side (15) of the second lower connector (12) can be received in the first hole (106) of the first pair of holes (106, 106') in the PC board (100), and the leg device of one boardlock (27) adjacent the first side (15) of the first upper connector (12) can be received within the second hole (106') of the first pair of holes (106, 106') in the PC board (100). The other boardlock (28) of the first upper connector (12) and of the second lower connectors (12) perform the same arrangement within a second pair of holes (108, 108') in the PC board (100), respectively.
