ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector has an insulating housing from a rear face of which extends a series of contact leg portions for connection to a series of conductive paths of a circuit board by a surface mount technique and a contact aligning member comprising a cover plate extending transversely from an upright wall having a bottom edge formed with a series of grooves at the same pitch as the conductive paths with respective, downwardly opening, divergent contact leg portion receiving mouths. Side walls extending rearwardly from opposite ends of the body have wall guiding surfaces intersected by a stop groove which receives a detent formed on an upright edge of the wall in a snap action when the contact aligning member is inserted downwardly between the side walls so that the respective contact leg portions enter the respective grooves, thereby being located at the same pitch as the conductive paths and in a common circuit board engaging plane.
