ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (1) includes a dielectric housing (2), a number of power terminals (4) at one end of the housing, signal terminals (5) and solder pad contacts (6) disposed at the other end of the housing opposite to the power terminals. The housing includes a base portion (20) and a bottom portion (21) and defines a number of passageways (212, 213, 215) extending through the bottom portion. The terminals (4, 5) received in the passageways (212, 213) each have a contact portion (40, 50) and a solder foot (41, 51). The solder pad contacts and the power terminals have a width greater than the signal terminals. The solder pad contacts are upwardly inserted into the passageways (215) of the base portion from the bottom portion and each includes a retention portion (60) for interfering with the base portion and a solder foot (61) extending beyond the bottom portion. Use of wide power terminals and wide solder pad contacts at the other end of the housing provides balanced solder attachment to a pcb. The solder pad contacts are used solely for securement to the pcb.
