ABSTRACT:
A connector mountable on the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB) has a body of insulating ceramic material having a bottom surface, a main top surface facing away from the bottom surface, additional surfaces interconnecting the bottom and main top surfaces and each other including oppositely facing side surfaces, and an electrical lead having a bottom end portion on the bottom surface, a top end portion on the main top surface and additional portions on the additional surfaces and providing circuit continuity on the exterior of the body between the end portions of the lead, the bottom end portion being affixable to a pad on the surface of the PCB. A mating connector includes two body members of insulating plastic material pivotally connected for limited movement about a hinge pin, each body member having an inwardly facing planar surface, and a spring urging the inwardly facing surfaces toward each other. The inwardly facing surfaces of the mating connector are spaced apart a distance so that they can straddle and engage the first and second side surfaces of the surface mountable connector in positive mating engagement therewith. The mating connector has a configuration for receiving and holding an external circuit element in electrical contact with the lead.
