ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector mountable on top of a printed circuit board and connectable to a conductive element located below the connector. The connector generally includes an insulated housing having a plurality of terminal receiving cavities therein and a plurality of like terminals mounted in said cavities. Each terminal receiving cavity has a top opening and a bottom opening through which the conductive element is received in the cavity. The housing also includes a side wall with terminal tail positioning means for positioning and holding a tail portion of a terminal. Each terminal generally includes an elongated strip of metal formed to have a preloaded biased portion adapted to be received in the cavity to engage the conductive element and a tail portion extending from the base portion out of the cavity through the top opening and bent over and down along the side wall so that the end points downwardly for connection to the printed circuit board. The tail portion cooperates with the terminal tail positioning means so that the tail portion is properly positioned and held.
