ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (10) includes a housing (12) and a plurality of right angled terminals (70), each disposed in a respective terminal receiving passageway (34) thereof. The body portion (76) of the terminals includes a first push surface (78) proximate a first connecting section (72), the first push surface (78) being adapted to cooperate with a push surface (48) along a wall of a respective passageway (34) when the connector (10) is mounted to the circuit board (102). The body portion (76) of at least a portion of the plurality of terminals (70) includes a second push surface (92) proximate a second or board connecting section (94), the second push surface (92) being adapted to cooperate with a second housing push surface (60) on a housing wall proximate the connector mounting face (18). When the connector (10) is mounted to the board (102) by applying force to a top of said housing (12), the housing walls push against both terminal body portions (78, 92) to urge said second connecting portions (94) into force fit relationship within corresponding apertures (104) of the circuit board (102), thereby pushing the terminals (70) at two spaced locations and keeping the terminals (70) stabilized and in axial alignment as the connector (10) is mounted to the board (102).
