ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing defining a slot for receiving pins therein each having a U-shaped section. A pin retainer includes blocks integrated together and received in the slot. Each block has an insert portion fit into the U-shaped section of each pin thereby securing the pin in the slot. Two board locks, each having a channel-like portion receiving an expanded end of a fastener therein with an elongate fastener body extending through holes defined in the housing, secure the connector to a circuit board. The channel-like portion of the board lock has a first side defined by two spaced fingers which receive and retain the fastener body therebetween and an opposite second side from which a support section extends. A circuit board engaging section extends from the support section and is received in a slot defined on the circuit board with the support section directly positioned on the circuit board. The second side of the channel-like portion is dimensioned to have the support section substantially located at a central position with respect to the connector whereby a portion of the connector is located below the circuit board when the connector is supported on the circuit board by the support section.
