ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes an insulative housing adapted to engage a conductive contact (20). The conductive contact has a tail end, wherein the tail end (22) is angled and has a generally dished shape such that at least a portion of the tail end terminates within a hole (10) in a contact pad (12) of a circuit board (1). The conductive contact tail end in a dished shape has the advantages of facilitating the guiding of the tail end into or out of the hole of the circuit board during wipe actions, without removing gold plated layer, and of achieving a reliable travel of the tail end across the hole of the contact pad of the circuit board.
