ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for surface mounting on a printed circuit board has a rectangular plastics housing with two rows of contact pins. The pins are each in the form of a turned metal wire of circular section having an enlarged spherical knob at its rear end. Each pin extends parallel to the base of the housing, having its rear end bent downwards so that, in its natural state, the knob lies below the housing. When mounted on the circuit board, each knob is resiliently urged into contact with a respective printed contact pad on the board and is secured thereto by solder. The forward end of each pin provides a male member that makes connection in a socket in a cooperating connector.
