ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector which is mountable on a circuit board includes a housing (10) having a board-mounting face (13), a channel (38) which opens into the housing from the board-mounting face, and a pair of grooves (36, 37) which extend from the channel in respective opposite directions parallel to the board-mounting face. A boardlock (20) has a pair of oppositely extending wings (24) which are mounted in the grooves, a body which extends through the channel, and a base (22) which is engageable with the circuit board. The channel (38) and the pair of grooves (36, 37) are open to a side of the housing for receiving the boardlock in a direction parallel to the board mounting face (13). The boardlock resides completely within a lateral outline of the housing.
