ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (20) is disclosed which includes a dielectric housing (24) having contacts (26) secured therein. The housing has a mounting flange (48) which defines a mounting face (46), a top face (52) and an aperture (54) extending therebetween. The aperture defines aat least one wall. The top face has a transverse channel (62) proximate the aperture, with the wall having a channel (60) that intersects the transverse channel (62). The two channels are substantially perpendicular to each other. A wire formed boardlock (22) is disposed in the aperture (54). The boardlock has a first portion within the aperture and a second portion extending beyond the mounting face for reception in a boardlock receiving hole in a circuit board. The first portion of the boardlock includes a retention portion receivable in the transverse channel (62), and an alignment portion receivable in the channel (60) in the wall.
