ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly is disclosed for connecting a mating connector to a printed circuit board. The assembly includes a dielectric housing having a plurality of terminal-receiving cavities and a plurality of terminals insertable into the cavities. Each terminal includes a base section insertable into a respective cavity in an insertion direction for securing the terminal in the cavity. The terminal includes a tail section for contacting the printed circuit board and spring contact beam for electrically engaging a conductor of the mating connector. The tail section and the spring contact beam extend from the base section and are spaced apart transverse to the insertion direction, whereby an insertion tool can be inserted therebetween into engagement with the base section to readily force the terminal into its terminal-receiving cavity.
