ABSTRACT:
An improved electrical connector assembly for mounting to a printed circuit board (6) and for receiving a PC card. The electrical connector assembly includes a housing (3) having signal terminals (1) and ground terminals (2), wherein the tail portions (11) of the signal terminals are of surface mount type and the tail portions (21) of the ground terminals are of through-hole type. The tail portions of the ground terminals extend in at least one row toward the circuit board between the tail portions of the signal terminals and the rear end of the housing. In this configuration, the signal terminal tail portions and the ground terminal tail portions can be simultaneously soldered and all of the solder joints can be inspected without obstruction, the surface mount solder joints inspected from an upper surface (7) of the circuit board and the through-hole solder joints can be inspected from a lower surface (8) of the circuit board. The ground terminals, in the form of a unitary ground shield, are positioned on an upper surface of the housing (3).
