ABSTRACT:
A connector which is particularly suitable for angled, surface mount connections has improved anti-solder and/or flux wicking characteristics which substantially prevent the contamination of contact portions of the connector terminals. Terminals for the connector are provided which have a housing engagement portion at one end and a bifurcated portion at the other end. The bifurcated end portion includes a contact portion and a solder tail portion which are separated by an irregular intervening space of varying width. The depth and the varying width cooperate to prevent the wicking of molten solder and/or flux to the contact surface of the terminal.
