ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is adapted for mounting on a printed circuit board. The connector includes a dielectric housing having a mating face and a board-mounting face. At least one mounting post projects from the board-mounting face for insertion into a mounting hole in the printed circuit board. The mounting post is bifurcated lengthwise thereof and includes a relatively rigid leg of a substantially C-shaped cross section defining a slot extending longitudinally thereof. A relatively flexible leg includes a latch for latching engagement with the printed circuit board at the mounting hole. The flexible leg is sized for flexing movement substantially into the slot in the C-shaped rigid leg. Therefore, the C-shaped rigid leg provides an overstress protection for the flexible leg.
