ABSTRACT:
A right angle connector is adapted to be mounted on a printed circuit board and includes a connector housing having a front mating portion, a conductive shield having a shroud adapted to surround the front mating portion, and a tail aligner to support tail portions of terminals disposed in the connector housing. The shield is secured to the connector housing by latching tabs secured in apertures in the housing and includes a pair of ground straps with ground tabs projecting therefrom, each of the ground tabs has a curved end portion that is adapted to fit into holes in the printed circuit board on which the connector is to be mounted. The tail aligner has positioning and mounting tabs that latch into apertures in the connector housing so as to secure the tail aligner to the connector housing. In order to maintain the connector on the printed circuit board until after the ground tabs and the tail portions of the terminals are soldered to the printed circuit board, the tail aligner has two mounting tabs that are adapted to latch into mounting holes in the printed circuit board.
