ABSTRACT:
A surface mount electrical connector includes a terminal body having a first elongate member that cooperates with a housing to secure the terminal body to the connector housing. A second elongate member of the terminal body includes a curved portion having an aperture therethrough. The curved portion includes a convex surface that facilitates automated assembly operations, and the aperture helps to overcome surface tension in liquid solder, thereby promoting a secure electrical connection.
