ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a dielectric housing having a front mating face, a rear terminating face, a bottom mounting face and a plurality of terminal-receiving passages extending rearwardly of the front mating face. A plurality of terminals are received in the passages. A stamped and formed metal boardlock is mounted on the housing and includes a generally planar mounting plate disposed generally parallel to the front mating face of the housing. A pair of locking legs are formed out of a bottom edge of the mounting plate and project below the bottom mounting face of the housing for insertion into an appropriate hole in the printed circuit board. One of the locking legs is generally coplanar with the mounting plate and has a locking portion formed generally perpendicular to the mounting plate and, in turn, perpendicular to the front mating face of the housing. The other locking leg is generally flat and L-shaped in a plane generally perpendicular to the mounting plate.
