ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a variable orientation, surface mountable connector assembly. Electrical connector 1 comprises an insulative housing 100, a plurality of electrical contacts 200, and a pair of variable orientation board mounts 300. The electrical contacts 200 are mounted in the insulative housing 100 so as to be surface mountable to a printed circuit board 3 regardless of whether the electrical connector 1 is surface mounted vertically or horizontally. Two board mounts 300 are located in corresponding lateral cavities 125 in the insulative housing 100. Each board mount 300 is adapted to be selectively oriented in either a first position corresponding to a vertically mounted electrical connector 1 or a second position corresponding to a horizontally mounted electrical connector 1.
