ABSTRACT:
A mounting peg system is disclosed in an electrical connector adapted for surface mounting on a printed circuit board. The connector includes an elongated insulating housing defining a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction of the connector. At least a pair of mounting pegs are spaced longitudinally of the housing for mounting in a respective pair of mounting holes in the printed circuit board. The mounting peg system includes one of the pair of mounting pegs being configured to be relatively rigid in both the longitudinal and transverse directions of the connector to securely retain the connector on the circuit board. The other of the pair of mounting pegs is configured to be relatively rigid in the transverse direction and relatively compliant in the longitudinal direction to accommodate longitudinal thermal expansion of the housing relative to the circuit board.
