ABSTRACT:
A connector is described which can be surface mounted to a rigid or flexible circuit board. The connector includes a plurality of contacts (36) fixed to a dielectric locator (42), with the lower ends (46) of the contacts soldered to the surfaces of contact pads formed along traces on the circuit board (14). After the contacts are soldered in place, a connector housing (72) is slid downwardly around the locator and the lower end of the housing is adhesively sealed by adhesive (70A) to the circuit board around the contacts. A potting compound (92) such as epoxy is then injected into the housing, to bond the circuit board to the contacts and to the inside surface (86) of the housing. The connector is inserted up into an aperture (16) in a rigid mounting wall (20) and mounted thereat, with the circuit board being supported on the connector and through it on the mounting wall.
