ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for engaging with a mated connector in a mating direction comprises a dielectric housing receiving a number of contacts therein, and a pair of retention members for securely fixing the connector to a circuit board. The housing forms a pair of latching members outwardly projecting from opposite ends thereof for securely receiving the retention members therein. Each latching member forms a recess and a projection integrally extending into the recess. Each retention member is L-shaped and comprises a latching portion having a width substantially equal to the width of the corresponding recess for being secured received therein, and a mounting portion perpendicular to the latching portion and extending beyond the corresponding latching member for being surface mounted to the circuit board. Since the retention members are securely fixed to the corresponding latching member in a latching direction perpendicular to the mating direction of the connector, the connector will not move in the mating direction when the mating connector is inserted into or withdrawn from the connector.
