ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for connection to plural contacts mounted on a printed circuit board, other support or the like, including plural electrical contacts for engaging and electrically connecting with corresponding ones of such plural contacts, a support structure for supporting the electrical contacts, a resilient latch mechanism for maintaining the electrical connector in position with respect to such plural contacts and such printed circuit board and independently of such plural contacts, a keying mechanism to assure correct contact to contact installation and an anti-rotation mechanism cooperative with such printed circuit board to prevent rotation of the electrical connector relative thereto during installation onto such plural contacts. In a preferred embodiment the plural contacts are connected, e.g. by soldering, to the printed circuit board or to circuits thereon or associated therewith, and the anti-rotation mechanism helps to prevent applying torsion forces to such connections.
