ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector 10 for mounting on a circuit board 11 is provided comprising a first row of passages and a second row of passages which communicate a front surface 14 and a rear surface 16 of a housing 12, the passages being positioned in parallel rows, with each passage of a given row being vertically aligned with a corresponding passage in the other row. First electrical contacts 26 are retained in the first row of passages, and second electrical contacts 30 are retained in the second row of passages. The electrical contacts 26,30 comprise post sections 68 which extend forwardly from the front surface 14 of the housing 12, intermediate section 70 which are retained in the passages, and tail sections 22 which extend rearwardly and downwardly from the rear section 16 of the housing 12 to a free end 84 which is disposed to connect with an electrical connector on the circuit board 11, such as a conductive pad, 38. The tail sections 36 of the first electrical contacts 26 extend rearwardly and downwardly in a first plane, and the tail sections 34 of the second electrical contacts 30 extend rearwardly and downwardly in a second plane which is different from the first plane, thus enabling ease of visual inspection and repair of the connections of the free ends 84 of the tail sections 34 of the second electrical contacts 30 to the conductive pads 38 of the mounting surface 11.
