ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for supporting at least one electrical connector body, the apparatus includes a connector housing mountable to a printed circuit board (PCB). The connector housing includes at least one base member for attachment to the PCB; and at least one support post each spaced apart from one another and extending from the at least one base member. The support posts inserted into one or more clearance holes in the PCB are configured to receive the one or more support posts. When a lateral force is applied to the connector body, the support posts acts as a support and transfers the lateral force to the PCB, thereby reducing a rotational moment at a base of each connector body connected to the PCB.
